It's pretty simple:

wine (<< 0.0.20021007-1) _DOES NOT WORK_ with libc6 2.3.1 installed 
(Wine wrongly used an internal glibc symbol that is no longer available 
in glibc 2.3).

You have to choose whether you want to keep the old Wine or install the 
new libc6 packages.

I suggest to the libc6 maintainers to close this bug.

I'm not sure whether the file package in testing/unstable actually 
contains the fix.

Why don't you install the fixed file package for woody on your system?
