"nm mc" shows that the only symbol from GLIBC_PRIVATE is
__libc_enable_secure.  Search for __libc_enable_secure finds it in two
places:

intl/dcigettext.c - it's only used if that file is compiled as part of
libc, which is not the case.

slang/slcommon.c - this one uses __libc_enable_secure when glibc 2.x and
newer is used.  So, I guess it's upgrading S-Lang that introduced this
problem.
