I would not recommend moving the /lib/tls directory.  Chances are there 
are other programs on your machine that need the libraries in it.  For 
example, do 'ldd /bin/ls'  You may find that you system will stop 
working if you start messing with the /lib directory.

By the way, I have also used Redhat 9 on a PIII to build and I have not 
run into this problem.  So there is hope, we just need to narrow down 
what is different between your set up and mine.

Until then, if you get really tired of troubleshooting this problem feel 
free to download precompiled bash and glibc packages from 
http://www.happy-monkey.net/architect/bin-pkgs/  This will let you move 
past the problem and on to other chapters.  Once you get things working 
then you can go back and conquer chapter 3.

Good Luck,
Dave
