Glibc Wizards:
We're using the jdk117_v2 for Alpha Linux (the binary distribution provided by
Uncle George) under Redhat 5.x (with glibc 2.0.7) with no problems.
When we try to run the same java compiler under under RedHat 6.0 (with glibc
2.1.1) we get the following error:
/opt/jdk117_v2/bin/alpha_21164/green_threads/java: error in loading shared
libraries: /opt/jdk117_v2/lib/alpha_21164/green_threads/libjava_dl.so: undefined
symbol: _dl_default_scope
The offending symbol, _dl_default_scope, is defined in ld-2.0.7.so but not in
ld-2.1.1.so.
Yet the glibc FAQ says:
----
2.27. What needs to be recompiled when upgrading from glibc 2.0 to glibc 2.1?
{AJ,CG} If you just upgrade the glibc from 2.0.x (x <= 7) to 2.1, binaries that
have been linked against glibc 2.0 will continue to work.

What's going on here?
What can we do about it?
Thanks.
