Wait, we missed an important bit: there are two different libcs here.

What does this say:

  ldd $(dirname $(readlink -f $(type -P emacs)))/.emacs-25.3-real | grep glibc

Is LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LD_PRELOAD set?

Does the beginning of “LD_DEBUG=files emacs” give hints as to why the
second libc gets picked up?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
