Weird. If /usr/lib/debug is used correctly, it should show the
appropriate function name. It may be stack corruption?

I downloaded setupdb-1.0.0 and setup-1.5.8. It was successfully
compiled and executed. But the log at the last compilation said:
gcc -o uninstall uninstall.o /home/gotom/setup-1.5.8/../setupdb-1.0.0/x86/libsetupdb.a plugins/libplugins.a /home/gotom/setup-1.5.8/../setupdb-1.0.0/x86/libsetupdb.a -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib /usr/lib/libxml.a -lz -static
/usr/lib/libxml.a(nanohttp.o)(.text+0xcd3): In function `xmlNanoHTTPConnectHost':
: warning: Using 'gethostbyname' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking
This means "uninstall" is compiled with "-static" even if it uses NSS
code. NSS code should not be generally used with static link on
glibc.
I think this is not glibc issue, but the application static link
problem. In glibc 2.3.2.ds1-1, many static linked application were
failed to start on glibc 2.3.2. Unfortunatelly we can't fix this
problem. If you have no objection, I'll close this bug.
