"Me too!" (well, maybe not since 1994, but since NetBSD 0.9, whenever
that was) It seems like people are focusing too much on whether
DESTDIR=/ is a good idea or not, and less on the original problem...
which is: Why did installing a new libc cause old binaries to core dump?
That is definitely _not_ expected behavior, despite some claims to the
contrary.
