Good that you start telling.
It still has the atexit problem? What libc version do you have?
I had the same problem with an libc update some time ago, but several
older binaries had the same problem with the unreduced
library. Switching back to the previous or next (fixed) libc also
fixed the problem in the mklibs.py.
I deduced that it was the buggy libc causing the problem so I let it
rest.
Can you mail me the complete output with DEBUG_SPAM for a few
iterations, say 5. Same for ppc please.
May the Source be with you.

PS: Try do delete the downloaded libc and rebuild.
