>Description:
	My build of libc failed at install time because the check stage, 
using checkver, found a copy of libc.so.13.0 in a subdirectory of /usr/lib. 
I'm not 100% sure what checkver's role in life is really supposed to be, but 
I feel certain that finding libraries in out-of-the-way corners that aren't 
usually referenced by the linker isn't it. 

>How-To-Repeat:
	mkdir /usr/lib/weird; touch /usr/lib/weird/libc.so.13.0
	cd /usr/src/lib/libc; make && make install.
The following libraries have versions greater than the source:
/usr/lib/weird/libc.so.13.0
*** Error code 1

Stop.

>Fix:
	Change checkver to use a non-recursive search for libraries.
