Hi Jesse, it looks like things work fine on x86_64 build hosts (with  
target i386), but there is an issue with FC1 builds on a i686 build  
host.  On x86_64, a mock install of fc1 i386 goes cleanly, but on an  
i686 32 bit machine, the %post section of the glibc install fails.

I'm curious, what type of build machine are you using currently, and  
if it's not x86_64, did you experience anything like this under mach?

Here's some output after doing a 'mock -r fedora-1-i386-core --debug  
init' and killing mock before it does the 'yum groupinstall build',  
so that I can do a test install of glibc.  Basically, I get the same  
error message when doing a mock build, but this way I can avoid the  
wait when it downloads all packages in the build group :)  This works  
perfectly on the x86_64 machine.

I've been looking at the /usr/sbin/glibc_post_upgrade code (this is  
the only thing run in %post of the glibc rpm), and I can see where  
it's throwing the 115 exit code, but I'm not sure what is causing it.
