Oops!

Somebody didn't think clearly there. 

Redhat 7.3:

/bin/rpm: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for
GNU/Linux 2.2.5, statically linked, stripped
                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

And that was a Good Thing(TM), as I found out one day when a remote libc
upgrade failed :-)

Redhat 9:

/bin/rpm: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for
GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
		 Outch! That's not a good idea. Unfortunately all later
redhat releases (Redhat EL 3, Fedora Core) seem to have the same
problem.
