I don't either. I was sure there was one when I wrote my last post, but now I think I was mistaken.

Unfortunately, upgrading libc from sources is difficult and error-prone. (It's not for the faint of heart, it's not for people who don't have full system backups, and it's not for people who don't have sstaticly linked copies of essential tools in strategic places. Nor is it for people without rescue disks and spare install CDs.) Normally one upgrades libc with linux-distro-supplied packages. You'll have to see your distro implementor for those. Since libc is so difficult to upgrade, I suggest you try upgrading binutils first, and hope that solves your problem.
