Perhaps this is helpful for other people, too: Statically linked binaries which crash with the new libc6 can run using LD_LIBRARY_PATH. For Mathematica, I did the following: (A source for "testing" must be in /etc/apt/sources.list.)
apt-get -d install libc6/testing mkdir /oldlibs dpkg-deb -x /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.3.1-16_i386.deb /oldlibs/ Now, LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/oldlibs/lib/ /usr/local/bin/mathematica works fine and can be used in a wrapper script.
