Ok, after the dump, it says:
    Version References:
        required from libc.so.6:
            0x09691f73    0x00 04 GLIBC_2.1.3
            0x0d696910   0x00 03 GLIBC_2.0
            0x0d696911   0x00 02 GLIBC_2.1

Now, I must note, that I found out that most of the binutils, with the exception of as,
readelf, and gasp are having the aforementioned error.

So, what do I need to do to fix this?  I installed GLIBC_2.2.3 *after* getting this error,
so it should be default for my native compiler now, no?  I'm in unknown territory here as a
relative newbie to the whole gcc chain.  What steps should I take to make sure my native
gcc is running with the right version of GLIBC?
