Is this type of stuff documented somewhere?  What do we gain by
changing the version of ldconfig?  Should some of this stuff be
reported to RedHat?

If you hadn't mentioned the ldconfig/ld.so.conf stuff, I'd just build
the athena-libc5 package as follows:

%files
/usr/lib/terminfo
/usr/lib/zoneinfo
/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libdb.so.2.0.0
/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libgdbm.so.2.0.0
/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libjpeg.so.6.0.1
/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libtiff.so.3.4.28
/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libz.so.1.0.4

%post
/sbin/ldconfig

What would go wrong with that approach?

Sal.
