I don't know what the library is or what happens without it or even how
to get rid of it.

I was able to get one of my systems working again.  libc was in a
halfway updated state.  I guess when it segfaulted during the upgrade it
left it in a bad state.  I could see that it was segfaulting in a post
install script.  I was able to run that post install script manually and
then configure all to get libc fully installed.  Once I did that and
rebooted, the system worked again.  I will add the details when I get a
chance.  That system was a 32bit AMD system.

The other system is a 64bit AMD system.  It seems to be broken in a
slightly different way when it segfaulted during the libc upgrade.  It
seems like it is segfaulting in a pre install script when I try to do a
configure all to try to fix it.  Trying to run the pre install script
manually requires a couple of input arguments that I haven't had a
chance to look into to see what to try.  I will give more details when I
get a chance.

Brent
