__gmon_start__ issues between 2.1.x and 2.2.x on sparc(?)

[Jack Howarth]

Dan,
   Before you claim the patch doesn't work, make sure you are
testing it correctly. Remember that this patch will not 'fix'
broken binaries where you recompiled a program under glibc 2.2
against glibc 2.1.3 built libs and then replaced those libs
with ones compiled under glibc 2.2. You have to recompile anything
you built under glibc 2.2 against the old binutils. Also it gets
messy if you have recompiled a lot of libs against glibc 2.2. I would 
strongly recommend reverting to a clean installation of only glibc 2.1.3
built rpms and then start rebuilding things against glibc 2.2 with
the patched binutils. That will definitely work. It won't unbreak
your currently broken binaries though.
