Bug#206131: Upgrade to 2.3.2-2 on sparc breaks procps (among others)

["Steinar H. Gunderson" <sgunderson@bigfoot.com>]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.2-2
Severity: critical
Tags: sid
Justification: breaks unrelated software

After upgrading to libc6 2.3.2-2, a lot of programs have begun to fail
with SIGILL on a SparcStation 10, among them procps:

  waegoo:~/procps-3.1.11# gdb ./debian/procps/bin/ps
  (...)
  (gdb) r
  Starting program: /root/procps-3.1.11/debian/procps/bin/ps
  (no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...
  (no debugging symbols found)...
  Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
  0x50088b18 in __strtod_internal () from /lib/libc.so.6
  (gdb) bt
  #0  0x50088b18 in __strtod_internal () from /lib/libc.so.6
  #1  0x500a88f0 in _IO_vfscanf () from /lib/libc.so.6
  #2  0x500b4ad0 in vsscanf () from /lib/libc.so.6

This also seems to break reportbug, so I simply downgraded to 2.3.1-16 again,
which works just fine.
