The RPM should detect the 7.0 changes, and already handle those compile
differences.  I suspect that you have an early 7.0 distribution, and
that you must update your glibc package from Red Hat.

As a special case, a precompiled RPM for Red Hat 7.0 running the x86
uniprocessor kernel may be installed by running
  rpm -i ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/netdrivers-rh70.i386.rpm
