memusagestat is linked with -lgd -lpng -lz, which are non-glibc libraries; 
maybe the way ld looks for libraries mentioned in DT_NEEDED in shared 
libraries it links with (a questionable feature of ld) is resulting in 
some other system shared library being found.  Really it would be better 
for memusagestat to be a separate package rather than included in the main 
glibc distribution at all (it could still be released along with glibc if 
desired), to avoid build complications related to such dependencies.
