Problems with glibc-2.0.94

[Damien Kick <kick@cig.mot.com>]

I'm having problems with 'glibc-2.0.94.tar.gz' version of the valid
snapshots found at 'ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu' (having finally figured
out to not use 'ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libc' <blush>).  Having
compiled and installed 'glibc-2.0.94', I get the following error
message whenever I attempt to execute a command that uses 'libc.so.6';
for example:

    ls: error in loading shared libraries
    /usr/local/glibc-2.0.94/lib/libc.so.6: undefined symbol: _dl_debug_impcalls

Here is the relevant system information for attempting to use the
results of the 'glibc-2.0.94' compilation:

    (+) Entries in /etc/ld.so.conf

            /usr/i486-linuxaout/lib
            /usr/X11R6/lib
            /usr/lib
            /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib
            /usr/local/glibc-2.0.94/lib

        having been run through 'ldconfig -v' to produce the error.
        Everything else having been kept the same.  For example, I did
        not attempt to change the symlink

            '/lib/ld-linux.so.2 -> /lib/ld-2.0.7.so'

        to

            '/lib/ld-linux.so.2 ->
                /usr/local/glibc-2.0.94/lib/ld-2.0.94.so'

        because I wanted to check it out first.  Again, I don't think
        that this should make a difference but though I should mention
        it just in case.

Here is the relevant system information for the compilation:

    (+) Running Linux 2.0.34 on an HP OmniBook 3000, the kernel being
        compiled by hand and the rest of the installation being a
        "vanilla" RedHat 5.1 distribution with errata upgrades from as
        recent as about a month ago.

    (+) Using the following versions of the Glibc and add-ons:

        (-) glibc-2.0.94.tar.gz
        (-) glibc-crypt-2.0.93.tar.gz
        (-) glibc-linuxthreads-2.0.94.tar.gz
        (-) glibc-localedata-2.0.7pre3.tar.gz

        I grabbed the latest versions of everything that I could find
        at 'ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu'.  I was not 100% confident about
        mixing and matching the version numbers of the libc and
        add-ons source.  Is this a problem?

    (+) Compiled with 'gcc-2.8.1'.

    (+) Version of the libc used for the compilation being from the
        RedHat package 'glibc-2.0.7-13'.

    (+) I've keep a complete log of the compilation and installation
        just in case this looks like there might be a problem with
        'glibc-2.0.94.tar.gz' and not just a local problem with my
        attempts to build, install, and use it.  And I'll be more than
        happy to provide any other information that might be useful.

Thanks in advance for any help and apologies in advance for any stupid
mistakes on my part.
