I never had the problem with just installing the shlib6 package, since
they are just runtime libraries. I did mess with the full glibc
package and got similar problems. Probably some line in some config
file for the compiler got changed, did you "--force" an rpm anywhere?
Did it about 3 months ago. Finally just reinstalled, because
a reinstall only takes an hour, and figuring that out would take a lot
longer.
This problem is why most people on this list recommend waiting for
version 6 to come out before playing around with glibc.
