genhdlist is evil. Whereas it used to be statically compiled so that one
could happily copy it cross-distro, now it just seems to have a bunch of
GLIBC symbol versioning complaints whenever I try to run it away from
the "host" release. This may not be entirely Redhat's fault... - the NSS
problem has caused quite some chatter:

The least disruptive method I can think of would be to boot another
workstation nearby with the FC rescue CD, mount the NFS dir and run
genhdlist/pkgorder from there.
