I've just tested on ami-a40fefcd , which uses the kernel in question that installing libc6-xen fixes this problem in ec2.
I booted the instance, then 'apt-get update && apt-get install libc6-xen'. After a reboot, I have: $ uname -r 2.6.31-300-ec2 $ dpkg -l "libc6*" | grep ^ii ii libc6 2.10.1-0ubuntu11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libc6-i686 2.10.1-0ubuntu11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries [i686 optimi ii libc6-xen 2.10.1-0ubuntu11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries [Xen version $ ldd /bin/bash linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb7ef6000) libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0xb7eb5000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb7eb1000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7d54000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7ef7000) $ dmesg | grep "\*\*.*WARN" || echo "no warnings" no warnings $ time perl -e 'glob("xxx*")' real 0m0.007s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.000s Steve successfully debugged that /etc/ld.so.nohwcap existed and was causing the problems.
