So, really, this is the only thing that needs to be fixed? There is
also the management of /etc/ld.so.cache, which I presume would be
working fine otherwise.

Speaking of which, has anyone talked to them about the binary
incompatibility problems (RH's glibc not providing
__register_frame_info and friends) we're facing? It's really up to
them to fix it, but I haven't looked at RH6.2 yet so I don't know if
they really did or not...
Particularly since TurboLinux and Mandrake are releasing Alpha
distributions and they will probably just be using exactly the same
stuff as Red Hat :P
