Why do you think this is the problem?  It's not.  The error message
talks about errno, not __ctype_b.

drow@nevyn:~% readelf -a /lib/tls/libc.so.6|grep ctype_b
00132fa0  0007b906 R_386_GLOB_DAT    00133408   __ctype_b

Please set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4 and try again.  Also please get this
binary fixed.  Accessing errno directly is a bug in the application.

We implemented a compatibility hack during sarge but it has been
removed in etch.

There is some text about this in README.Debian but it needs to be
updated.
