elf/ldconfig in glibc-2.2 generates error

[Jason]

A major relevant detail is that this is probably not something you
will see very often, as the system I am currently using is a heavily
upgraded slackware 3.0 system (Ive made the hand transition from a.out
to ELF, it was almost as difficult as the one I am undergoing now,
though doing what I did then now would be far easier :)

So basically, the compile of glibc-2.2 was done with gcc 2.95.2. Its
now three or four days later, I've made sure to upgrade everything
mentioned in FAQs, the READMEs and INSTALLs, etc... configure griped
about one or two things, which I also upgraded. Ive gone thru the
output of the compile by hand, everything is kosher, I am using the
correctly matched linuxthreads, etc... but the binaries were compiled
with libc5. Perhaps the problem simply lies right there, I imagine
many people compiling glibc-2.2 are coming from some other glibc... 

After configure ran with no problems or gripes, both make and make
check ALSO ran perfectly. 

I didnt run in to any problems until I ran "sudo make install"
(installing them into /usr/local/glibc/)/ The included ldconfig,
created in the elf directory, dies with the error message:

elf/ldconfig: Can't stat .2

After puzzingly over this for nearly 24hrs (including examining the
source, and not being able to figure out why it is not getting the
filename, the fact that it cant stat a filename that doesnt exist
actually makes perfect sense!), and not being able to determine WHY
ldconfig was included in the binary, I patched the toplevel makefile
to use my existing ldconfig, and everything worked, so far.

As I have yet to install many other things that are to be installed
after glibc-2.2 (the extra libs for C++, recompiling many of the other
libs I have hand installed, etc...), I am wondering if this will cause
any problems.. or if the ldconfig included with 2.2 was merely put
there because it was needed.
