The only time I've seen this was when I was having problems with the 
wrong dynamic linker being invoked (because I had a non-glibc linker).

I don't think there have been any major changes post 2.2.8, but there 
have certainly been major improvements in the Linux emulation in the 
3.x branch which may address your problems.
