Did you upgrade to glibc2.1?

Anyway I've been messing with this today in trying to get em86 to work
on a RedHat 6.0 system.  To get past that error I used Praveen
Srinivasan's earlier message for help (along with installing 
compat-glibc-5.2-2.0.7.1.alpha.rpm)

Try: Renaming em86 to em86.bin. Then create a script called
/usr/bin/em86 with the following

#!/bin/sh
env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/alpha-glibc20-linux/lib \
/usr/alpha-glibc20-linux/lib/ld-2.0.7.so /usr/bin/em86.bin

em86 seems to run now, but now I'm stuck at trying to install the
em86-baselibs.  When ever rpm tries to run ldconfig86 I get the
following:

/usr/bin/ldconfig86: cannot execute binary file

Anyone else?
