I'm running fc6 with 2.6.16. I'll ping the Skype >devs and see if they'll roll me a copy with debugging turned on. Can you try a newer glibc version with 2.6.16? You can install it like this; cd /compat/linux && fetch <ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/development/x86_64/os/Packages/glibc-2.7.90-7.i386.rpm">ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/development/x86_64/os/Packages/glibc-2.7.90-7.i386.rpm" Then you do a simple "rpm2cpio glibc-2.7.90-7.i386.rpm | cpio -idvu"
