At least, on my machine some applications uses GTK 1.2 (libgtk1.2
1.2.10-12) with libc6 2.3.1-5. It works fine.

Please send us more information, at least gtk+/sigseg apps/gdb
version. I suspect your environment, it may be broken? Please recheck
your machine before sending bug report. I think if your bug is common
problem for all users, then we libc6 team may be buried in many bug
reports already :-)
