Actually this bug is serious and grave.  However, considering this
problem, I need to investigate this issue more.  In addition, I plan
to fix /lib64 -> /lib things (I'll post about it).  I'm sorry but I
put glibc 2.3.5-5 without two patches from Andreas' ppc64 and the fix
for your problem, because testing is dammed.  I focus them in the next
2.3.5-6.
