[ale] upgrading glibcx to glibc2.2.4...........

[dhurst at kennesaw.edu (Dow Hurst)]

I thought that an install of a new glibc would require all apps 
depending on glibc to be recompiled with the new glibc or they would 
segfault, not run, or something along those lines.  Am I in looneyland 
or the linuxlibrary? ;-)
