The lack of /lib/tls notwithstanding, this seems an awful lot like a
TLS problem. These normally cause process segfaults, and the tools
you mention were the poster children for this on i386.
UML/x86_64 is lacking some TLS support, but I haven't seen that cause
problems. I have a couple of up to date FC5 filesystems, and they
seem fine. The DNS tools work OK.
Is the host running 2.4, by any chance? I don't know if you can run
2.4 on x86_64, but the host needs TLS support itself, and that means
2.6.
