Well first we have to understand the problem. I don't really see what is 
wrong, as the symbol is present:

[henry:~]$ objdump -T /lib/libc.so.6 | grep errno
000dfba0 g    DF .text  00000090  GLIBC_2.0   clnt_perrno
0011f360 g    DO .bss   00000004 (GLIBC_2.0)  _errno
0011f360 g    DO .bss   00000004 (GLIBC_2.0)  errno
000d3be0 g    DF .text  00000028  GLIBC_2.0   __h_errno_location
00120eb0 g    DO .bss   00000004 (GLIBC_2.0)  h_errno
000155d0 g    DF .text  00000028  GLIBC_2.0   __errno_location
00120eb0  w   DO .bss   00000004 (GLIBC_2.0)  _h_errno
000df7e0 g    DF .text  00000083  GLIBC_2.0   clnt_sperrno

Which was the latest version which worked? Have you tried to upgrade the 
product?

Bye,
Aurelien
