Erm, those last three lines should have been

	LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/opt/glibc/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/lib
	export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
	elf/ld.so /path/to/app arguments

so the libc.so that is supposed to be being tested is actually listed
in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. :)  You can test that the setting is right with
ld.so --list or ldd.  Sorry for the trouble.
