Not libc_nonshared.a,
$ locate libc_nonshared
/usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a
/usr/src/glibc-build/libc_nonshared.a

I have libc-2.2.4.so, but libc.so.6 is symlinked to libc-2.2.5.so, other than 
that, I'm fairly clean (I think). But I've gone thru various iterations of 
installing glibc 2.2.5 from source and 2.2.4 from RPM (which never seemd to 
work... libc.so.6 would still be symlinked to libc-2.2.5.so afterward), so 
the possibility of pieces of glibc laying around mucking up the works is 
non-zero.

I'll try the binultils update again. This time I'm fairly confident that 
glibc-2.2.5 is properly installed, as I re-did the complete glibc update 
process again, just to make sure. I am not that confident that my glibc was 
properly installed at the time of my prior update attempt of binutils (and I 
was updating to binutils 2.13. I think I'll grab the latest 2.12 and try 
that.

I'm on IRC now if anyone wants to lend a helping hand ;-)

Thanks, 
Tim
