Almost certainly you have a libc5/glibc mismatch. The two libraries use
different dynamic linkers (/lib/ld-linux.so.2 vs /lib/ld-linux.so.1) and if
the appropriate version of ld.so is missing you will see these symptoms.
The linux-gcc@vger.rutgers.edu list might be a better place for this
discussion.
