I discovered that the bash in linux_lib-2.4 falls if you have a
both an (v5) and a new (v6) libc in /compat/linux/lib...ldd shows
it being linked to both versions....

I can't say I encountered it.  At that point in the process,
sybinit runs the buildmaster program which appears to be failing
for some reason.  Try doing a ktrace or truss and see if you can
figure out why/how execl() is failing.
