I checked /var/lib/dpkg/info, grepping for libc.so, and no hits. Those symlinks were created on Nov 10. I created temp files with timestamps at the beginning and end of the hour they were created, and did a find for all files between those stamps. The only hits were those symlinks and some temporary files, etc. in my home directory. Nothing gives me any clues as to how those symlinks got there. I don't remember creating them myself.
