This looks like you did --prefix your glibc with /home/shuveb/embtest. Instead, just set DESTDIR before "make install" and compile with / as the prefix. Otherwise ld.so will use that as a part of the search path - and it's not present in chroot.

If you want to check if I'm right try to:
# mkdir -p /home/shuveb/embtest/home/shuveb
# ln -s / /home/shuveb/embtest/home/shuveb/embtest
from outside the chroot (inside isn't possible yet, so this is rather clear ;-)
Then everything should work.
