This works for me on 2.1.7. I have a symbolic link from libc.so.3.0 to
libc.so.2.2.

It's weird though, I wanted to see what happens if I didn't have the
link, and here's what I got:

othello:/usr/lib# ls -l libc.*
-r--r--r--  1 bin  bin  499006 Mar  6 12:58 libc.a
-r--r--r--  1 bin  bin  435713 Mar  6 12:58 libc.so.2.2
lrwxr-xr-x  1 bin  bin      11 Mar  9 18:27 libc.so.3.0 -> libc.so.2.2
othello:/usr/lib# rm libc.so.3.0
othello:/usr/lib# java
ld.so failed: open failed for "/usr/lib/libc.so.3.0" : No such file or directory

Ok, so far things are as expected. But now when I add the link back again,
java still doesn't work (btw. I also tried doing an ldconfig again, but it
didn't help):

othello:/usr/lib# ln -s libc.so.2.2 libc.so.3.0
othello:/usr/lib# java
ld.so failed: open failed for "/libc.so.3.0" : No such file or directory
 was not found in /usr/local/java/bin/../bin/i386/
othello:/usr/lib# 

But when I logged out and logged back in again, then java worked again!
I guess there's something I don't understand about how ldconfig, ld.so,
and all that works, but that last error message looks a little strange.
