Bug#241393: libc6: sparc64 binaries do not execute

[Craig Small <csmall@debian.org>]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-11
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I tried compiling a kernel at first, but it told me it could not execute
a file.
   ./check_asm >> asm_offsets.h
    /bin/sh: line 1: ./check_asm: cannot execute binary file
 
Then I tried compiling my own version of hello world and got this:
$ ./hello
-bash: ./hello: cannot execute binary file
csmall@freemantle:~$ ldd /root/hello
/usr/bin/ldd: line 1: /lib64/ld-linux.so.2: cannot execute binary file
        not a dynamic executable

Then I tried to ldd ldd
$ /usr/bin/ldd /usr/bin/ldd
/usr/bin/ldd: line 1: /lib64/ld-linux.so.2: cannot execute binary file
	not a dynamic executable

There is something *seriously* wrong going on here.
