Could you give the command
  env | LD
and see if you already have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set.
If you do, clear it with a command like
  unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
before running the script.

The script could clear that variable itself, but that would
be a dirty trick, so I felt it was best to just tell the
user their environment was unacceptable to glibc's build system.

Can you think of any way to make the error message clearer?
