Well, seems the gcc272 package is broken. Don't worry, you shouldn't use it
anyway.

So why is libc0.2 not configured? Your installation is not 100% ok.
I don't believe native-install (did you run it?) run without errors.

Did you run native-install? What output did it produce? It will configure
the packages, only THEN the installation is complete.
