RHEL 4 and RHEL 5 now support a bit of "drop a file in /etc/ld.so.conf.d
to disable /lib/tls", instead of moving it aside. Moving it aside is
fulnerable to update problems, where updating a program with libraries
there restores the directory and makes rolling back the Xen installation
rather awkward.
Also, I''ve seen reports that it''s not just glibc: db4 drops
some
libraries in /lib/tls that are problematic for Xen guests.
