glibc 2.1.1 linking problems

[Steve Dunham <dunham@cse.msu.edu>]

It's your favorite debian developer again. :)

Your glibc "chown" hack has one minor problem: Old libraries which
reference "chown@@GLIBC_2.1" won't link (compile time) with the new
libc.  (The load-time linking works fine.)

This probably isn't too give us _too_ much trouble, but the following
will have to be recompiled:

libguile.so.3
libguile.so.4.0.0
libpwdb.so.0.54
librpm.so.1.0
libtck8.0.so.1

On the affected libraries, objdump -T will include:

0000000000000000      DF *UND*  00000000000000a4  GLIBC_2.1   chown

Note that the current versions of the libraries will work with the new
glibc, but you won't be able to build new programs using both the
current versions of the above libraries and the new glibc.
