A number of folks have reported the issue I describe here, where JRuby
crashes on startup with a message about _dl_debug_initialize:

The problem appears to be aggravated lately and we have not done any
further investigation into why. Removing libc6-i686 should be ok, even
though it's installed as a dependency of ubuntu-minimal...even the
package description says you might have to uninstall it. But that's not
good enough.
We need to isolate whose fault this issue actually is and chase them
down about it. If it's something in Sun's JDK I can take it from there
and talk to them. If it's something in JNA, we can probably try to fix
it or at least modify jruby.native.enabled to completely avoid loading
JNA (through a modification to jna-posix to load it reflectively). At
any rate, we need to figure this out.
I've filed http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-3084 to track progress,
but I'm open to suggestions here. It sucks to have to tell Ubuntu-based
JRuby users to remove that package, since I'm sure we'll lose people
that don't bother to ask.
Help!
