IMPORTANT - Is your libc6 library broken?

[Guy Maor <maor@ece.utexas.edu>]

This paragraph, from libc6-migration.text.gz is VERY IMPORTANT!

   Libraries (regardless of which library they're compiled against) need
   to have runtime dependencies on one of libc, libdl or libm to enable
   the shared linker to determine which library to use for a binary.
   These runtime dependencies are _NOT_ dependencies in the Debian
   way, but dependencies generated by the linker when generating the
   shared library. See the binutils manual for more information.

Any library which does not have a runtime dependency and uses the same
soname for libc5 and libc6 versions will make ld.so do the wrong
thing.
