I'm sure that the problem is here.  If you've built code with a compiler
that *does not have* the trampoline patch (which is what I think you've
done with Mozilla) then the startup for 'libstdc++' will fail (amoung
others).

I've built a new EGCS-1.1.1 which can be used with existing code until
the new GLIBC-2.1.xx is ready.  You can get this from:
  ftp://ftp.linuxppc.org/pub/gary/redhat/RPMS/ppc
Pick up the 'egcs-1.1-1b*' packages.
