What do you mean by "use this (or that) library"?  You cannot just
pick one library from one setup and "use it".

You always have to build your software using one tool chain, using the
corresponding header files and linking against the matching libraries,
and then run the result in the corresponding root file system.

So if your application was working in ELDK 4.2, you must rebuild /
relink it using the ELDK 5.1 tool chain, and then run it in the
context of a ELDK 5.1 root file system, using 5.1 libraries only.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
