All of these are meaningless. This is starting to be a FAQ :)
Basically, the new glibc is compiled with LFS support, but that is only
supported with 2.4.x kernels. So these attempted LFS syscalls fail on
2.2.x kernels. Good thing is, glibc is smart enough to fall back to
pre-LFS syscalls in this case.
I may disable this printf for the Debian distributed kernels. This
message is only meaningful for developers.
