Well, there must be something really messed up in your build of libc6
as atexit() is a C standard function.  I seem to recall there was a
build that missed it accidentally a little while ago, but it was fixed
within a day or so (couldn't find any reference in the changelog files).

I have 2.2.4-2 installed here (which seems to have some other issues)...
