You are doing it wrong, because libc.so.6 is a symbolic link, not a
file.  Instead use:

    # find / -name libc.so.6

The program is looking in wrong place.

The program has a bug, or has not been properly configured.

Your post on
http://www.ocp.inf.ethz.ch/forum/index.php?topic=918.0
shows you have gone much further than this.

Your strace on 30th September shows it is looking in the wrong place:

    /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
    /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6

But on 13.2.1 it might instead look in:

    /usr/lib/

as per the file list
http://download.laptop.org/xo-1.5/os/official/13.2.1-14/32014o1.files.txt.gz

Perhaps you might try

    % export OBERON_DEBUG=7
    % aos

as per
http://www.ocp.inf.ethz.ch/forum/index.php?topic=627.0

Meanwhile, get it packaged for Fedora to alleviate future pain?
