Basically, you need to wait for the libc6 versions of those packages and
those development libraries.  Packages linked with libc6 also need all
their support libs linked with libc6, or strange things will happen.  We
(the developers) are working on getting libc6 versions of all the
libraries put out as soon as possible, but that is why we have unstable.

If you really need to develop for stuff not yet available for libc6, I'd
suggest backing out all the libc6-dev packages, and installing the older
libc5 stuff on hold until we finish shaking down libc6 support.
