Well I've been called a lot of things, but not a "random user" before ;) I don't think I should have to recompile all the tools to `static` if I wish to rebuild glibc with the "latest-and-greatest" compiler. This problem is certainly going to come up again. If the developers of ld.so would respond, maybe its as simple as renaming ld.so.cache before `make install`.
