Plash doesn't currently build on systems with glibc 2.3.6 and it won't
currently build a PlashGlibc based on glibc 2.3.6.  (That is a result
of these changes: http://plash.beasts.org/wiki/Story7 and
http://plash.beasts.org/wiki/Story5.)

You have a couple of options at the moment:
 * Upgrade libc6 and libc6-dev to the versions in Debian testing.
 * Use the previous release, 1.17, which does work with glibc 2.3.6.

I'm planning to add back support for glibc 2.3.6 though.

Cheers,
Mark
