Bug#284793: libc6-prof: Running programs compiled with -profile fails

[Arno Wagner <arno@wagner.name>]

Package: libc6-prof
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-18
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

When compiling even only a hello.c with -profile, the executable does 
exit with an error message immediately. This makes the profile-library
completely unusable as far as I can tell. 

I did try to google for this problem (no applicable results) and 
had a look into  /usr/share/doc/libc6-prof/ (no information there).

Example:

E ~/exp/c/misc>cat hello.c
#include <stdlib.h>

int  main() {
  printf(" hello \n");
}

E ~/exp/c/misc>gcc -profile hello.c 
E ~/exp/c/misc>a.out
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-version.c: 230: _dl_check_map_versions: Assertion `needed != ((void *)0)' failed!
E ~/exp/c/misc>

gcc is gcc version 3.3.4 (Debian 1:3.3.4-13)
