test being backwards.  If you don't use trampolines (including running the

trampolines are then you probably aren't using them.

glibc-0.961212 uses trampolines for the nsswitch-based name resolver
functions (e.g., gethostbyname()).  If you use an unpatched egcs-1.1.1
to compile a program using one of those routines, the program will
crash on that call.
