libtricks grovels deep within glibc internals (to the point that it 
has its own copies of internal glibc headers), I am not entirely sure 
if it can ever work with glibc 2.1, since an external lib and 
programs cannot access internal libc symbols.
fakeroot grovels at a much higher level and still works.
