It's using syscall interfaces which appear to have broken in l-k-h 2.6.18.
A significant number of packages are affected; and I don't see any reason to
think that the use of these interfaces was ever inappropriate.
It has been suggested to me that this breakage was deliberate. Can the
glibc maintainers confirm this? If this is the case, I think we need to
seriously consider reverting the change for etch, given the number of
packages affected (and given that the change inadvertently snuck into
testing because the release team failed to freeze l-k-h along with the other
build-essential packages).
