CentOS 4.0 -> 4.1 update failing

I just took a quick look at the RHEL4 glibc spec file.  It contains lines:

%define nptlarches i386 i686 athlon x86_64 ia64 s390 s390x sparcv9 ppc ppc64

and then:

%ifarch %{nptlarches}
%define enablekernelnptl 2.4.20
%ifarch i386
%define nptl_target_cpu i486
%define tls_subdir tls/i486
%else
%define nptl_target_cpu %{_target_cpu}
%define tls_subdir tls
%endif
%endif

So, I'd say just compile it for i386, and it should work correctly.  It'll use
i486 instructions for NPTL support.  Some testing to see if NPTL is really
working might be needed.  That's apperently the way Red Hat is doing it, so
CentOS should follow.
