Binary package hint: libc6-prof

Ubuntu 7.10
libc6, libc6-prof report source as glibc 2.6.1-1ubuntu10
Command line: 'gcc -static -lc_p -o test -pg test.c', where test.c is a simple "Hello World"

Linking statically against libc_p.a results in the following errors:

/usr/lib/gcc/sparc-linux-gnu/4.1.3/../../../../lib/libc.a(dl-runtime.o): In function `_dl_call_pltexit':
(.text+0x0): multiple definition of `_dl_call_pltexit'
/usr/lib/gcc/sparc-linux-gnu/4.1.3/../../../../lib/libc_p.a(dl-runtime.op):(.text+0x0): first defined here
/usr/bin/ld: Disabling relaxation: it will not work with multiple definitions
/usr/lib/gcc/sparc-linux-gnu/4.1.3/../../../../lib/libc.a(dl-runtime.o): In function `_dl_fixup':
(.text+0x220): multiple definition of `_dl_fixup'
/usr/lib/gcc/sparc-linux-gnu/4.1.3/../../../../lib/libc_p.a(dl-runtime.op):(.text+0x20): first defined here

Linkage works well on an x86 box.
I tried removing libc.a from the linking stage, but that just results in a missing _dl_profile_fixup symbol.
