Guys,

I guess I did a miracle. lol

WARNING: if you want try this procedure, read with attention the whole
thing before try. It shouldn't harm your system, but need to be careful
to avoid screw it up and need redo everything again. This nano-howto is
newbie-friendly and released under GPLv2. lmfao

Let me explain exactly what I did... As you can see above, I told my
root doesn't have password and suid/sgid binaries and doesn't work with
MALLOC_CHECK_="1". But I'm running Xubuntu on a amd64 box, which means I
need some stuff functional on 64 and 32 bits (thanks Adobe for beeing
lazy with flash plugin). Ehr, so I have ia32libs and also dchroot here.
You *need* at least a xterm/console/whatever already running and a web
browser would help a lot. Now the fancy workaround:

* run 'dhcroot -d' (the new environment doesn't matter, but I'm assuming
you already used it once)

* run 'mkdir newmountpoint' (or any name, just need to be unique)

* run 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 newmountpoint' (check before what's the
right partition)

* now 'cd newmountpoint/etc' (check if the content is the same at
regular /etc with no chroot)

* create an empty file with 'sudo touch suid-debug' (and check if this
file is under /etc, same as above)

* go back with 'cd' and run 'umount /dev/sda1' (might check the right
partition above)

* close the chroot running 'exit' (JUST ONCE, BE CAREFUL)


Now you are again on buggy console. Download the new 
libc6_2.7-9ubuntu2_amd64.deb from main repository, as explained by Marco 
Rodrigues (using wget) or some browser. If your system is 32 bits download the 
right i386 package. Now you'll do the easy part:

* run 'export MALLOC_CHECK_=1'

* and run 'sudo dpkg -i libc6_2.7-9ubuntu2_amd64.deb'

Whew! If you did all steps right, you'll see something like below (it's
Portuguese, i forgot to use LANG=C to get English text, anyway you dont
need it too):

malloc: using debugging hooks

Hope that helps. (:
