Hi, Looking at this problem again and again, I have thought it might be due to problem with optimized libraries that are not upgraded correctly. This would explain the problem on i386 only, not on amd64.
If this is the correct problem, it can be workarounded by creating a /etc/ld.so.nohwcap file. This can be done with touch for example if the partition is mounted on another system. When it happens after an apt-get upgrade where all commands segfault, it can be done using only bash commands: "> /etc/ld.so.nohwcap". Note that if the system works again after that, trying to install or finish the installation of libc6 will remove this file again, and cause the breakage again.
