Yes (or at least I USED TO!)

I've done some more digging and it seems that this build machine (where this
error happened) has been totally eaten (corrupted) :-(  My home directory
(and who knows what else?) is empty.  I'm going to blame it on my attempt
to try out OpenWRT builds on this box (not my choice - customers seem to
always get in the way)

Sorry for the noise - I'll go back to trying to repair my build machine now

BTW, how did you come to the conclusion about chrpath?

Thanks for the help
