RHEL 4 and RHEL 5 now support a bit of "drop a file in /etc/ld.so.conf.d 
to disable /lib/tls", instead of moving it aside. Moving it aside is 
fulnerable to update problems, where updating a program with libraries 
there restores the directory and makes rolling back the Xen installation 
rather awkward.
Also, I've seen reports that it's not just glibc: db4 drops some 
libraries in /lib/tls that are problematic for Xen guests.
