it is using uClibc.  run `strings` on the file and look at some of the ones you 
get back.  you'll find stuff in there that points to using uClibc and not glibc.

for example, uClibc has this:
	bad auth_len gid %d str %d auth %d
but glibc does not.  i'm sure you could find more.

analyzing assembly code won't be as useful as most of the x86_64 .S files were 
copied from glibc.
