Or maybe I was too fast. I don't find the exact timeline of libc
development, so I have no idea how old your linux is. I thought that
this failure was recent, but apparently it's not (the garden most
probably has libc-2.8). For 32-bit linux we try to be *very* backward
compatible. For 64-bit Peter most probably has the oldest linux OS
running on 64-bit processor in the community.

You are the first one with something older. The problem is that either:
- we need to find someone that will compile the binaries on old-enough linux
- or, if you have a chance to figure out how to upgrade to something
that supports at least 2.7
