cd /lib
ln -sf libc.so.5.2.x libc.so

then link again. ;-)

binutils 2.6 only searches for libc.so, and does't find the
different versions. normally you have a symlink from libc.so
to libc.so.5, which in turn is a symlink created by ldconfig
which always points to the latest version.

here you better let libc.so point to the 5.2.x libc.

ps: my information is from m68k-linux, so take with care.
anyway i'm very sure about this also on intel.
