Check symlinks. You should have:

/lib/libc.so.5 -> /lib/libc.so.5.4.17
/lib/libc.so -> /lib/libc.so.5
/usr/lib/libc.so.5 -> /lib/libc.so.5

I had same problem a while ago, guess either RH 3.0.3 had it wrong
with symlinks or libc-5.4.1x.bin.tar.gz misses the /usr/lib link...
or I simply blew something during upgrade :)
