[pocket-linux] Chapter 3. The dreaded libc.so.6

[Phil Birkelbach]

It's been a while since I went through the guide but I think your answer 
is in your question.  You said the output of ldd on bash is 
/lib/tls/libc.so.6  You should have a /lib/tls directory on your root 
disk with libc.so.6 (or a symlink) in that directory.  Or rebuild bash 
so that it is looking in /lib for libc.so.6

Godspeed,
