You could always wimp out on this one and simply stop if you don't
find a libc_r in the obvious place, telling the user to go compile
that bit and come back.  2.2.7, due in just 7 days now (eek!), will
have it by default and, of course, 3.0 does as well so relying on it
just being installed is not as bad as it sounds.
