well one thing that could be going wrong, is if you didnt have glibc
installed properly before, the save_libraries routine wont have anything
to backup, due to a broken install log. theres also the code in there to
redirect the symlink ld-linux.so.2 into our backup directory, possibly
to a file that never got copied there....

on a side note, i am recompiling glibc, but i dont know how much good it
will do since i messed some stuff up and completly trashed the existing
install. so as i mentioned the save_libraries routine isnt going to help
since the only thing sorcery knows about it /var/log/...
