 nfrench> says it all really, Unfortunately I have no control over NVIDIA :-)

I still don't understand what the problem is. I take it that the above
is from a glibc compilation? From a recent x86-64 build:

ls ./lib
ld64-uClibc-0.9.30.1.so  libgcc_s.so.1           libresolv.so.0
ld64-uClibc.so.0         libm-0.9.30.1.so        librt-0.9.30.1.so
libcrypt-0.9.30.1.so     libm.so.0               librt.so.0
libcrypt.so.0            libnsl-0.9.30.1.so      libuClibc-0.9.30.1.so
libc.so.0                libnsl.so.0             libutil-0.9.30.1.so
libdl-0.9.30.1.so        libpthread-0.9.30.1.so  libutil.so.0
libdl.so.0               libpthread.so.0
libgcc_s.so              libresolv-0.9.30.1.so

E.G. it gives you a libm-*.so

Or is the the problem that the nvidia libGL*.so is closed source and
linked against glibc? Then I guess you're forced into using an
external glibc toolchain.
