Which glibc are you using?  I'm on 2.0.100 now, and while the library
can handle backward compatible binaries, the binaries can not handle
backward compatible libraries.  You'll need to upgrade to use it.  The
new libraries seem to be working more or less fine - one problem with
NSS has been reported, but I'm not seeing it here.
