Libc5 has thread support. It is not included, but glibc 2.x has also separate linuxthreads packages.
Libc5 is discontinued (according to H.J. Lu) because libc5 does the job, but it does not do the job good enough. Quote from release.libc6 out of the libc5 package:
The Linux C library 5 is phasing out. I am only maintaining it for
very serious bug fixes only. People who want new features and other
improvements should use the Linux C library 6, aka, the GNU C library
2.
