Well, this problem was described earlier - and it's workarounded by exporting 
the env. var LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 before running UML (so that ld.so will 
link it against libs in /lib, not in /lib/tls, which contains the NPTL 
version).

It's a bug in the NPTL glibc, which has been later fixed in glibc (I've no 
confirms of this apart from Ulrich Drepper) and has been workarounded inside 
UML.
