After 20 or so reboots, here are the results.

After two "successful" 'native-install' commands, the system boots 
into single user mode. Swap cannot be set up without making the 
system unbootable. I cannot fetch anything with apt-get (including 
gdb) because libc0.3 was not setup correctly during the first 
'native-install' and that created unresolved dependency problems:

*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (out): 0x080f5ca8 ***

This is what seems to break libc0.3:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libc0.3.postinst: line 20: update-rc.d "$@" 
>/dev/null

I tried

# dpkg --force-depends --configure libc0.3

after the two native-install's but the problem persists.
