I don't know how your configuration changed, I just installed a 3.1
host and test it. This is not a problem for me:

testhost# module l
ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "libc.so.2.1"

testhost# cd /usr/lib/compat/aout
testhost# ln -s libc.so.3.1 libc.so.2.1
testhost# module list
Currently Loaded Modulefiles:
          1) java  
testhost# rm libc.so.2.1
testhost# module list
ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "libc.so.2.1"

testhost# cd ../../aout
testhost# ln -s ../compat/aout/libc.so.3.1 libc.so.2.1  
testhost# module list
Currently Loaded Modulefiles:
          1) java  

done for test.
