I already mentioned that in another thread: sendmsg and recvmsg are
known to be broken on amd64, hence exit(1) from glibc_post_upgrade.
Installing only glibc-2.2.*.rpm with --noscripts exhibits another
problem (from dmesg(8)):

linux: pid 24134 (glidelink): sysctl {1,23} is not implemented
linux: pid 24134 (glidelink): syscall syslog not implemented
pid 24134 (glidelink), uid 0: exited on signal 12 (core dumped)
