Make sure you don't have any generic links in /lib like
/lib/libc.so -> /lib/libc.so.5
/lib/libm.so -> /lib/libm.so.5
/lib/libncurses.so -> /lib/libncurses.so.3
etc.
where the link has no version number on it.
I am speaking from experience not expertese. I got bit by this bug
when I upgrades a while ago. Look in the debian-user mail list
archives for the 'gcc can't compile, egcc can!??' thread. Apparently
this is a remnant from an older Debian release that did not get cleaned
up. I filed a bug report agains libc6 but apparently it did not get
taken care of by release time. My thanks go to Zack Weinberg
<zack@rabi.phys.columbia.edu> for helping me out when I had the problem.
