   You are trying to run statically linked binaries which use NSS/dlopen/iconv   
   and have been built against very old glibcs. This is not going to work, such   
   programs were never portable, if they are able to run against glibc other   
   than the exact version they have been compiled against, it is just by luck.   
   The problem is that those statically linked binaries have their copy   
   of the dynamic linker linked into them, and that copy isn't able to cope   
   with current glibc. Current glibc warns at link time about such programs,   
   so that developers are aware of the limitations of not-fully self-contained   
   statically linked programs.   
      
   To avoid using statically linked binaries, use -Bstatic ... -Bdynamic since   
   it is way preferred, that way one can decide what libraries should be linked   
   into the program and what libraries are linked dynamically. Certainly,   
      
   As a possible workaround, you could try unpacking some old glibc into some   
   directory, say ~/oldglibc/lib and then run the statically linked program with   
   LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/oldglibc/lib ./statically_linked_program   
   This certainly will not work if the statically linked program tries   
   to execute some dynamically linked program though
