Here again, glibc2.4 drop non-pthread stuffs and many architectures
still depend on that.

Seen here: http://www.grep.be/blog/en/computer/debian/glibc_2.3

          Candidate: 1:1.8.0-0.4
          Version table:

Okay then, here is the deal, you need to add the Debian Multimedia stuff
to youe /etc/apt/sources.list

Since you are using Etch, add:

        deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch main

do the obligatory updates and install the proper packages using aptitude
or synaptic... and voila, you are all good.
