your /usr/lib/libc.so should be a linker script if it isnt, something is broken on your system
binutils-2.15.x doesn't work with >=glibc-2.4. Run: binutils-config 2 (this assumes binutils-2.16.* is number 2, if not, check binutils-config -l) And then "source /etc/profile" Everything should work fine at that point.
