Yes.  In the meantime, I've found that it's the same story on another machin:
x86_64, 2.6.9-55.ELlargesmp, RHEL4.  I compile binutils-2.19.1, then attempt to
compile glibc-2.9.  Same infinite loop.  However, on this machine, the stock
/usr/bin/readelf, version 2.15.92.0.2, also can not read the fresh ld.so, going
into the same infinite (?) loop.
