        There are actually two different versions of libc.so.4.3. There is the
full one and there is a lite version that is trimmed down a bit from the full
version. The idea is to reduce the size of the image so that more stuff will
fit on the bootable rootdisk.

        You should get image-4.3.tar.z from tsx-11.mit.edu in pub/linux/GCC,
and install it. This contains the "full" version.
