It's a RHL 6 package; try this one;
	ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/distributions/redhat/contrib/libc5/i386/gp
c-2.0-1.i386.rpm

suse has one too, but they're too spastic to include version numbers in 
the file name. The one above should run fine on RHL 4.x and later; my rpm 
finder doesn't show any other versions today.
