Really? I only though you were using a chroot because you said so
yourself only a month ago:

So i guess you aren't really in the chroot, but you're using the libs
installed there. Is that right?
I have temporarily fixed my problem by installing the 32-bit libraries
in a chroot and making sure they appear in /etc/ld.so.conf before the
ia32-libs versions of the same libraries. So far this has allowed me to
install Windows XP in vmware. Not sure if it's a good long-term
solution, and if Debian/ia32 every switches to NPTL I'll be up a creek.
APK, what's the output of ldd /usr/local/lib/vmware/bin/vmware? Here's
