Yes.

Can you make sure that it's not using an old version of
ld-uClibc.so?  The best way to figure this out is to start the
program in gdb, wait for it to crash, and (in a different
terminal), look at /proc/NNNN/maps, where NNNN is the PID of
the offending process.

Also, what kernel versoin are you running?
