Package: libc6
Version: 2.7-10
Compiling any program, even hello world, against this library produces
binaries not working on any Vortex86SX-based system. The program does
not execute and produces "Illegal Instruction" error message. This is
always the case even when compiling as static binary with the
-march=i486 flag. Compiling the same program using libc6 version 2.3.6
(etch) resulted in a working *static* executable, though shared
libraries executables still produce the same bug. The only configuration
that worked for me was using libc6 version 2.3.2 (sarge).

first as I thought it is a 64 bit problem while running Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.
