The relocation error turns out to have been caused by missing symlinks to a library unrelated to libc6. I was misled by the fact that the error appeared only with libc6 2.3.2.ds1-10, and not with 2.3.2-9. I don't know why that happened, but anyway now that I've created the missing symlinks, the problem is solved. This was not a bug in libc6. Please mark the bug as invalid and close it. Sorry to have bothered you. Andrew.
