Well, I've found the problem: I was using the wrong libraries after
all. Sure, I checked, but what I was checking for was lib/libc.so.4,
and that's what I had, unfortunately on the wrong system.
Specifically, it seems that ldconfig -m doesn't work the way I
thought. During the system startup, I had effectively:
ldconfig /usr/lib/compat /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/X11R6/lib/aout /usr/local/lib
ldconfig -m /freebie/usr/lib /T/local/lib /freebie/usr/X11R6/lib
The second list of directories are on another -CURRENT machine, one
older than the one I'm building on. I do this to have access to
programs on that machine (specifically the ones in its /usr/local,
which is mounted on /T/local). But it seems that the -m option
*replaces* all the local libraries with the ones that it finds, so my
libc was /freebie/usr/lib/libc.so.4, which was old.

This is gone as well now.
