I take it Python was fixed to handle this?  I have my main MIPS machine tied up
on catalyst for the next few days, so I can't verify right now.  Initial
catalyst runs ~2 weeks ago indicated glibc-2.26 caused Python to fail its build
because either the RPC or NIS module failed to build (I forget which).
