hmm right forgot to check 32 bit legacy, well there the line is similar,
but 
	libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb7595000)

what is your  cat /etc/ld.so.conf /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf

well the question is why do you have a non working libgcc in /usr/local/lib ??

Nope, your report is still missing a lot, like
lsinitramfs /boot/path_to_broken_initramfs

and the output of
sh -x /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs -o /tmp/fooo

to backup the claims.

thank you.
