As I wrote previously — the bindist name does mention ‘deb7’, so perhaps this is all working as intended, and perhaps supporting such ancient distributions is not actually needed.
However, the GHC 7.8.4, 7.8.3, and 7.8.2 bindists work fine with glibc 2.11, so this is a regression.

Well, it shouldn't be very surprising that the deb7 (wheezy) ghc bindist doesn't work on deb6 (squeeze), as it's been compile-time configured for the environment provided by deb7 which has newer libraries with more features/symbols.
So what's needed here is probably a 2nd linux bindist build on an ancient enough (i.e. the one with the oldest libraries among CentOS6/Deb6/Ubuntu10.04) Linux environment.
