Same here. RH 7.1 with glibc update. htons linking error. No solution - I
even installed the old libraries in a chroot environment, then I got no
segfaults but "could not resolve hostname" errors (or something similar,
don't remember exactly). Currently my AIM-t runs on a Debian machine
connected to the main RH jabber server via stunnel.

I'll *never* set up Red Hat on a server again.
