I downloaded glibc: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/3/SRPMS/glibc-2.3.4-2.fc3.src.rpm and can not rebuild it on any of my i686 systems. I ran: rpmbuild -ba glibc.spec --target=i686 and it gives me the following: <snippage> ====================PLT RELOCS LIBC.SO============== + sed -n -e '/^Relocation section .*\(\.rela\?\.plt\|\.rela\.IA_64\.pltoff\)/,/^$/p' + readelf -Wr /tmp/glibc-2.3.4-root/lib/tls/libc-2.3.4.so Relocation section '.rel.plt' at offset 0x14b48 contains 7 entries: Offset Info Type Sym.
