i no longer have this problem.  a kind soul on #debian helped diagnose
the problem.  

in my case, xemacs was trying to use libc5 libraries --
the fix was to change the order of directories in /etc/ld.so.conf --
/usr/X11R6/lib came after two libc5-compat directories, so i put it before 
them.  (is this recommended?)

xemacs was able to find the appropriate libc6 versions of libraries
(verified w/ ldd), and things seem to be working fine now.
