This bug was fixed in the package glibc - 2.7-10ubuntu1

---------------
glibc (2.7-10ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * Merge remaining changes from 2.7-10 (r2869:2892).
  * If RELEASE_UPGRADE_MODE is set to `desktop', make the glibc/restart-services,
    glibc/restart-failed and glibc/upgrade questions of medium priority (and
    restarting the services automatically).  LP: #174002.
    Works as well around the upgrade errors mentioned in LP #205079 in a KDE
    environment, when the upgrade is done using the update-manager.
  * debian/rules: Always use the package settings for *FLAGS, not the settings
    from the environment.
  * Fail the build if regressions are found running the testsuite compared to
    expected results from debian/expected_test_summary. Take initial values
    from a PPA build predating this upload.
  * Merge from Debian trunk:
    - local/manpages/ld.so.8: fix libraries search order.  Closes: #473458.
    - Update Finish debconf translation, by Esko Arajärvi.  Closes: #473802.
    - Add any/cvs-strerror_r.diff to make strerror_r actually thread safe.
      Closes: #456531.
  * debian/rules.d/build.mk: Call `sync' before building the tarball of
    supported locales. Our buildds trigger http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/1/337
    on every build.

  * rules, rules.d/build.mk: fix parallel build.
  * control.in/main: build witch gcc-4.2 on i386 and amd64, as gcc-4.3 does

    2.6.21 to 2.6.24 kernel.

    to workaround gcc ICE on mips/mipsel n32/64.
