It probably needs to be recompiled with -mieee, that's all. Try
building it with:
CFLAGS="-g -O2 -Wall -mieee" dpkg-buildpackage

Get the most recent one:
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/binary-alpha/base/ldso_1.9.11-9.deb
If that one still doesn't work, then we have a problem.

The `debian-user' list is good for that -
debian-user-request@lists.debian.org to subscribe.
