Actually, the problem can be easily reproduced without mc and any
embedding of S-Lang.  This is on Fedora Core 4, x86_64 with S-Lang 2.0.5
compiled by "./configure && make" without any options:

$ nm slsh_exe |grep PRIVATE
00000000005a4f70 B __libc_enable_secure@@GLIBC_PRIVATE

slsh_exe is part of S-Lang.  Demo programs have that symbol too:

$ nm keypad |grep PRIVATE
0000000000526cf0 B __libc_enable_secure@@GLIBC_PRIVATE

Fedora Core 4 uses glibc-2.3.5.
