Hi Bob,
I know we already have our enviroment setup for building it (and Connie 
did that) so I'm not positive which rpm's have to be, or not be, 
installed.  But I do know that when we build them we use the arguments

rpmbuild --rebuild --target=i386,i686 glibc<version>.src.rpm

Connie is on a much needed vacation right now, so if nobody else has 
answered by the time she is back, I think she should be able to help.
