I'm currently building using 2.2.5-14.3.  I can't see why 2.3.1 would
break binary compatibility.  My ld-linux.so.2 shows (from objdump -x):

Version definitions:
1 0x01 0x0ee1b232 ld-linux.so.2
2 0x00 0x0d696910 GLIBC_2.0
3 0x00 0x0d696911 GLIBC_2.1
        GLIBC_2.0
4 0x00 0x09691f71 GLIBC_2.1.1
        GLIBC_2.1
5 0x00 0x0d696912 GLIBC_2.2
        GLIBC_2.1.1
6 0x00 0x09691a73 GLIBC_2.2.3
        GLIBC_2.2

objdump reports from a newly built bigloo binary:

Version References:
  required from ld-linux.so.2:

I'm not sure what these symbols exactly stand for (versions of the ABI
?), but it seems quite probable to me that this is a problem of
backward compatibility removed in 2.3, and probably is a bug in libc6.
What do glibc people think ?
