I usually had lots of trouble with these libraries. The best solution I've found was to do a find ./ -name "libc.so*"   on the /usr/* folder, you might find libc.so.4 or libc.so.2 , cp to libc.so.3  usually fixes it (you may need to do this for multiple files as the errors progress).

Not the best way of doing it, but it does job!
