Bug comments restored from Gmane.org:

Whenever wine is launched with any arguments the following is displayed:

/usr/bin/wine.bin: relocation error: /usr/bin/../lib/libntdll.dll.so: symbol 
__libc_fork, version GLIBC_2.1.2 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time 
reference 
Wine failed with return code 127

Please fix this - I can't run ANYTHING through wine - I really do not want to 
have to reboot into Windoze!

Additional info:

It appears the problem is the result of me upgrading libc6 and/or libc6-dev to 
version 2.3.1-1 (Debian package). I have just downgraded to 2.2.5-15 and the 
problem disappeared.

Therefore it might well a problem with libc6 not wine in which case apologies, 
but I'll leave it to you to find out - I have no clue...

user error (bad glibc upgrade)

This is not a problem with a bad glibc version.  Although this problem will go 
away when wine is re-compiled with the new glibc installed, the problem is in 
the wine source, not in glibc.  From the glibc FAQ 3.12:

ISO C states that identifiers beginning with an underscore are internal to  
   the libc.  An application program normally shouldn't use those internal  
   interfaces (there are exceptions, e.g. __ivaliduser).  If a program uses  
   these interfaces, it's broken.  These internal interfaces might change  
   between glibc releases or dropped completely.

The problem with a wine linked with glibc-2.2 not running with glibc-2.3 is 
because wine uses __libc_fork in scheduler/pthread.c and apparently, this 
interface has finally been dropped.  I immagine that since __libc_fork is only 
used if (__GLIBC__ == 2) && (__GLIBC_MINOR__ >= 1) && 
defined(HAVE___LIBC_FORK) 
that wine can do without this hack.

Looks like it's ready to be CLOSED.

Closing, the bug is old with no updates. Also the threading stuff is changing 
lately, presumably the use of internal functions will be removed as well.
