I think it does leave you in the "sorry" category, yes. I had a similar
problem (running 2.0.x) and have had to downgrade libc6 packages to work
around it. When I have time I will build a chroot for vmware to run in and
do it that way. Unfortunately right now I just don't have the cash to
upgrade.
Cheers,
