Ok.  Well if uClibc is using 2.2 kernel headers, then that is
probably ok.

Next step...  Try running an strace if the libc5 binary and
compare the set of lseek calls being made to the strace you
already made of the uClibc binary.  I suspect that will tell
us a great deal, since the libc5 binary works,
