Good point. The tail of the activity log sez gettext, but the most recent dir
in /usr/src/ is glibc so I guess that's the most likely (and understandable)
culprit. I was doing a rebuild and the installed version and the cast version
were exactly the same.

Perhaps just adding an ldconfig call in glibc/BUILD would be enough but I
thought Julian had veto'd that idea some time back?
