[Bug libc/2588] New: Compatibility issue with errno and h_errno


I am installing cadence EDA software on CentOS 4.3, a Linux distribution
that uses glibc 2.3.4. I checked the /lib directory and found that 
there is a libc.so.6 and libc-2.3.4.so. Both report a glibc version
of 2.3.4. However, during installation, the I got error message such as:

"Incorrectly built binary which accesses errno, h_errno directly. Needs to be
fixed."

I did an online search and some people say this is with recent 
glibc releases, which provide a separate errno variable for each thread.
Accessing errno directly may not work correctly for applications that 
make use of pthreads.

Is that the course of this error message? 
Wandering if there is anyway to fix it. Can I rollback to previous
version of glibc? Your feedback is very appreciated.
