I'm running from Debian unstable, and the kernel is 2.6.11+ as I build
from the BK sources. I'll be running the current BK in a few minutes
once the build completes.

That is bad to hear. I'm running the libc6 snapshot on an old Pentium-MMX
machine, and will be shortly running it on my SparcStation 20 (sparc32)
when I get around to doing the install.
Installation for me was a matter of downloading libc6, libc6-dev,
glibc-doc, and locales into one directory and then
# dpkg -i libc*.deb locales*.deb glibc-doc*.deb
Things worked without a hitch.
