i'll attach it plzip(1)ped; i now install gdb, from objdump(1)
alone i cannot figure it out, the codepaths are too mangled for me
having no history with neither coreutils nor glibc.

  $ ldd /bin/cp
  linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fffe1e13000)
  libacl.so.1 => /lib/libacl.so.1 (0x00007fcf92d3a000)
  libattr.so.1 => /lib/libattr.so.1 (0x00007fcf92d32000)
  libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007fcf92b42000)
  /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 => /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fcf92d66000)

I could also place the actual libs on the server, just in case
anyone wants the complete picture; seems unnecessary.  It is
absolutely reproducible, so the problem is in the binary for sure.
