I've installed util-vserver with the aid of dhozac.repo on an FC4 host
followed by an FC5 guest. It starts:

# which vserver
/usr/sbin/vserver
# vserver gast start
Bringing up loopback interface: Device lo does not seem to be present,
delaying initialization.
                                                           [FAILED]
Starting system logger: [ OK ]
Starting kernel logger: [ OK ]
Mounting other filesystems: [ OK ]

When I switch to using the util-vserver-0.30.210 I built I get my
problem back:

# which vserver
/addon/local/util-vserver/current/sbin/vserver
# echo "/addon/local/util-vserver/0.30.210/lib/util-vserver/vshelper" >/proc/sys/kernel/vshelper
# vserver gast start
/usr/bin/env: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by /usr/bin/env)

However, since doing that I have made a discovery. If I change the line

  _ENV="/usr/bin/env"

to

  _ENV="/bin/env"

in util-vserver-vars then my original FC5 guest starts fine using my
build of util-vserver.

/usr/bin/env is a symbolic link to ../../bin/env.
