This means erlang has linked against a libc symbol it should not have.
Check each binary with "eu-readelf -s foo | fgrep GLIBC_PRIVATE".  In
the offending binaries, you will see some UNDEF lines for some named
symbol at GLIBC_PRIVATE.  From there you'll have to look into the program
to see why it referred to that symbol.


Thanks,
