glibc update

[rpyne@kinfolk.org]

My biggest objection to using the alpha ISO is that I don't want X on 
the machines. 

It looks like the old migration guide has been removed from the Lunar 
web site, so it looks like I may be on my own. Fortunately, the two 
machines are almost identical and one of them is non-critical so I 
can live with it being down for several hours if necessary.
