That is strange. I have made sure no DSO will be used until the end
of "make install". Something must be changed. The last 3 commands of
"make install" should be

...../src/libc/elf/sln ..../obj/libc/elf/symlink.list
rm -f ..../obj/libc/elf/symlink.list
..../obj/libc/elf/ldconfig -d /lib -d /usr/lib

Only "sln symlink.list" should make the necessay symlinks so that you
those ld-2.1.91.so and libc-2.1.91.so will be used. However, it assumes
you don't have ld-2.1.91.so and libc-2.1.91.so in /lib before. If you
do, it is a known problem. One possible fix is to have a new version
everyday, like 2.1.20000701, 2.1.20000702, ....
