The problem is that the setup program is finding the xlib6g libs there,
which causes it a problem since it needs the regular xlib6 libs. Renaming
the directory moves the xlib6g stuff completely out of ld.so's path. This
will, of course, break running new X stuff until the directory is put
back, but it allows the setup program to find the correct libraries in
/usr/lib/libc5-compat
