No, the X11 libraries had been compiled against glibc-2.1 a few months
ago. I did say everything worked perfectly before I used gcc-2.95.1 in
anger. Only my Motif applications started going bananas after I built &
installed LessTif. So there is evidence of a problem with gcc-2.95.1,
which went away when I recompiled most of the critical libraries. I'm sure
there's a few libraries hiding waiting to bite me on my arse. 

That doesn't really matter anyhow as everything seems to work just fine
(apart from a power cut a few hours ago) :-S

Cheers,
