ktrace/kdump appear to show an attempted access of libc.so.6 first from 
/usr/lib and then from /usr/lib/compat as well as some other lib 
directories.

There is not such a file in any of those directories. I have attempted 
to run ldconfig -R to rescan the directory and rebuild the hints file, 
but I am going astray here...

the linux version of libc.so.6 -is- located in /usr/compat/linux/lib 
where is does not appear to look.
