did you try unsetting your LOCALE and/or LANG vars first ?
None of these env vars are set: root@hybrid:~# set|grep ^LANG root@hybrid:~# set|grep ^LC root@hybrid:~# set|grep ^LOCALE root@hybrid:~#
Looks like your glibc has problems. Not a kernel problem. Rebouncing to bug-wrangling.
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" k6 is i586
