Re: segfault attempting to compile 2.2.1

I certainly will.

Another side note which is probably related to the current segfault is that 
several programs such as XF86 and
mozilla, refuse to compile, all similarly segfaulting when a make rule is 
encountered with LD_LIBRARY_PATH is
set to a ../../somepath/libfile.  It doesn't happen to all of these rules but I 
haven't found a commonality to
this.

This occurs on a previously built glibc 2.2.

I also note that the new ldconfig program that comes with 2.2 complains with:

# ldconfig
ldconfig: Can't stat .2
