Very suspicious ... At this point is when I got a problem, because don't know if could be possible to update the libc libs we are using to compile (at scratchbox).
Adam is right. You can compile another libc alongside the one installed in the scratchbox environment (AFAIK, Adam did it for gnumeric), and compile/link against it.

The toolchain has such an old version so as to be compatible with the one included in the iliad firmware.

It is rather easy to generate another toolchain with an up-to-date libc, but as it would not be compatible with the iliad firmware, one would have to include it with every program (and it's somewhat large).

Perhaps in the future when Matthijs et al release the flashing procedure, we can arrange a firmware with a more recent libc, but until then, I think that it's better to do what Adam proposes.

Good luck with the port!
