There seems to be some kind of rlimit handling fuck-up.  The new glibc package 
was built against 2.4 kernel headers, and it works fine if you're actually 
running a 2.4 kernel but fails under 2.2.19.  I think cpp is dying because it 
accidentally sets itself a ludicrously restrictive stack limit.

More news later.
