Eek!

Hmmm... They have an update to shlibs, which I think includes glibc.
They also have a few other updates that look relevant. In particular,
they have nssv1.
So I installed all these, but glibc is still 2.1.3.

I tend to go with latest versions. In stark contrast to the Debian
approach, I find latest versions less troublesome.

That was Jose's machine. But as a test, I tried building sh-utils.
As you predicted, this blew up. So I blew away the contents of
/usr/local/lib/ and re-ran ldconfig. Now sh-utils builds, but not
qmail.
Next I grabbed mutt and built it with the option to use a Maildir in
the user's home directory as the mail spool. This built successfully,
but I will wait to install it until qmail is running.
So I think I have a build environment. Is there any way I should test
this further?
Thanks!
