glibc-2.3 requires gcc-3.2 and gcc 3.2 is not backward comapatible to 
older gcc stuffs, right? will it create chaos?

so they are normal. I want to build an rpm and then I will install the 
COL 3.1 again using the minimum option. hehe...then I upgrade glibc 
fromt he rpm I made. basically, everything is working fine after reboot.
