Well, on F9,
$ yum whatprovides /lib/ld-linux.so.2
reports

glibc-2.8-8.i386 : The GNU libc libraries
Matched from:
Filename    : /lib/ld-linux.so.2



glibc-2.8-8.i686 : The GNU libc libraries
Matched from:
Filename    : /lib/ld-linux.so.2



glibc-2.8-3.i386 : The GNU libc libraries

Other       : Provides-match: /lib/ld-linux.so.2

I suspect that both the i686 and the i386 will work, and there will be
little difference between them. The i686 version may be *slightly*
faster (especially if you have multiple cores).

Hope this helps,

James.
