Title:
  /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so and libpthread is ascii, not ELF

Status in “eglibc” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I wanted to run Android Development Tools 64 bit on Kubuntu 13.10 amd64. 
  This requires a lot of 32 bit libs, since there are many 32 bit binaries included.
  Currently it crashs at specific points. 

  I believe the cause are some problems with the 32bit packages on
  ubuntu.

  /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu$ file *|grep ASCII
  libc.so:                   ASCII text
  libpthread.so:             ASCII text

  /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu$ head libc.so
  /* GNU ld script
     Use the shared library, but some functions are only in
     the static library, so try that secondarily.  */
  OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf32-i386)
  GROUP ( /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc_nonshared.a  AS_NEEDED ( /lib/i386-linux-gnu/ld-linux.so.2 ) )

  I think this is wrong, because the other files are either links or ELF
  binaries.

  I tried the following fix: 
  - delete the files
  - remove and install libc-dev:i386. 

  Now the wrong state as shown above is restored again. Which proves the
  wrong files are contained in the libc-dev:i386 package.

  System: 
  Linux 3.11.0-12-generic #19-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 9 16:20:46 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
