These are the salient lines from the file. It's not entirely clear to me where the actual problem is, but what the above log says is that item #4 in the type_list section (that's what section type 1001 is; see the dex format specification document) contains a type index that's out of range. This might be because the dex file is corrupt, because the size of the type_ids section is being misinterpreted, because the offset to the type_list section is being misinterpreted, or because the contents of the type_list in question are being misinterpreted. To figure out which of these is the case, you should probably start by inspecting the dex file. The "dexdump" tool can help with this (in particular the "-f" option to display the header), but dexdump won't print out the entire contents of the file in general. To get a fully annotated dex file, you can produce it at build time by adding a "-- dump-to=<file>" option to dx (the tool that converts class files to dex files). If you are using the standard Android build system, you can say "make dex-debug", and this will cause annotated dex files to be dropped into dalvik/DEBUG-FILES (in your source tree). FWIW, this probably won't turn out to be a glibc problem per se, since at least a couple of folks on the Android team build Dalvik for a Linux host environment without problem.
