Hey. I got it working in AVLinux by a workaround. This is something that I'm certain no one will official support, and I only tried it because I had backups of all my work files, in the event of a system breakage.
glibc is a very fundamental library your system uses, so altering it manually can completely botch your system.
All that being said, here is what I did, taken from here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10863...-on-debian
First, go into Software Sources, and add:
deb
http://ftp.debian.org/debian sid main
Press CTRL+ALT+F1 to get to a different terminal session.
Then, you'll need a piece of paper to write these commands down:
Login as usual and issue these commands:
su (then type in your ROOT password)
/etc/init.d/slim stop
apt-get update
apt-get -t sid install libc6-amd libc6-dev libc6-dbg
After that has finished, you can either reboot to make yourself feel better, or just type:
slim
You'll want to remove the new SID repository you've added. Just uncheck the box in software sources.
All has worked surprisingly well for me. However, I have not tested every corner of my system, and there may be a problem that I'm unaware of.
Best of luck!
