libc5/glibc2 confusion

Hi all,

I've just compiled and installed egcs-2.91.61 19990216 (egcs-1.1.2
pre-release-1), but I'm wondering why it seems to be using libc5 instead
of glibc on my Intel RedHat 5.1 (with many updated packages) system.

When I didn't specify a host, egcs tried to set the host to libc5, so I
stopped compilation and set HOST=i586-pc-linux-gnulibc2.  However, it
seems all binaries get linked to libc5.  What am I doing wrong here? 
Are my shared libs possibly out of whack?

For egcs itself, I get:

$ ldd /usr/bin/egcs 
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x40007000)

Thanks, and KUTGW.
Geoff
