Unfortunately, it will test for a multilib installation. On PPC64 Pure64 this means it will try to test the non-existent 32-bit loader which has a different name from the 64-bit loader (unlike on other 64-bit architectures). We fool it by creating a symlink to the real loader. ln -sv &glibc-ld-name; /lib/ld.so.1 Now we can remove this symlink: rm -v /lib/ld.so.1
