ImportError: libGL.so.1: cannot handle TLS data

NO dependency has changed but libc6, and it was working very well before.
Note that i am using Nvivida drivers (but there were no upgrade recently).
It seems we fall into such a TLS problem reported here :

Q: Some OpenGL applications (like Quake3 Arena) crash when I start them
on Red Hat Linux 9.0.
A: Some versions of the glibc package shipped by Red Hat that support
TLS do not properly handle using dlopen() to access shared libraries
which utilize some TLS models. This problem is exhibited, for example,
when Quake3 Area dlopen()'s NVIDIA's libGL library. Please obtain
at least glibc-2.3.2-11.9 which is available as an update from Red Hat.

I may be wrong as i do not understand this well, but i'm quite sure this
problem is related to libc.
Thx
