glibc update on ppc32/fc6 fubar?

[Kevin Fenzi]

Greetings. 

I just picked up a old g4/466 box to use for fedora ppc builds and
testing....

First, minor issue... had to figure out that I needed to hit a 'c' on
boot to get it to boot from the cdrom. Perhaps that should be added to
the release notes?

Once I got that figured I got fc6 installed and working with no
problems. Then I tried to 'yum update' the newly installed machine... 
This resulted in a segfault in the libselinux package update: 

 Updating  : libsepol                     #####################
[ 26/426] 
error: %post(libsepol-1.15.3-1.fc6.ppc) scriptlet failed, exit status
255
  Updating  : libselinux                   ############
[ 27/426]Segmentation fault

Re-installing and trying various things, it looks like it's the glibc
update that is causing the issue.

[root at marva ~]# ls
-bash: /bin/ls: No such file or directory

At this point the dynamic linker isn't happy and pretty much nothing will work. 

Is this a known problem? 
Am I doing something wrong?

I did find a really old report of a problem like this in bugzilla: 
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=119122

Any help or pointers will be appreciated.
