Today glibc-2.10.90-15.x86_64 was released. It's change log says:
----------------
* Mon Aug 24 2009 Andreas Schwab <schwab at redhat.com> - 2.10.90-15
- Update from master.
  - fix fortify failure with longjmp from alternate stack (#512103).
- Add conflict with prelink (#509655).

I couldn't wait till it reached the mirrors so I downloaded it from koji. At 
first it was a big disappointment, kdeinit4 crashed ;-( But issuing 
/etc/cron.daily/prelink brought everything into live again. Maybe the latest 
glibc somehow forces a prelink which I missed with my manual install.

Maybe someone can report if the issue is solved with the latest glibc update 
after following the normal update route. Let's hope it is :-)
