Kylix & rh 6.2

[fjr at marsdome.myip.org (Frank J. Ramsay)]

I don't recall where, but on the Kylix CD is an archive of patches for
different distributions.  The Glibc version issue is because of a bug
in the version that ships with Redhat 6.x (and maybe 7.0).  The loader 
issue is (I believe) caused by that bug.

> Summary     : The GNU libc libraries.
> Description :
> The glibc package contains standard libraries which are used by multiple
> programs on the system. In order to save disk space and memory, as well
> as to make upgrading easier, common system code is kept in one place and
> shared between programs. This particular package contains the most
> important sets of shared libraries: the standard C library and the
> standard math library. Without these two libraries, a Linux system will
> not function.
