This is the problem - the current libc6 requires (AFAIK) at least
kernel 2.4.19 on mipsel. Unfortunately, we are having problems with
newer kernels on several of the Cobalt systems. Libc6 2.3.2.ds1-10
worked for me with a 2.4.20pre6, but unfortunately this kernel does
not work correctly on most of the Cobalt systems. We are trying to
get the Cobalt kernel support fixed, but this will probably need
some time.

Karsten
