According to http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Binary_compatibility there  
was an ABI change between the 2007.1 and 2007.2 images (and gllin uses  
the old ABI).

I also found a page on running gllin in a chroot environment:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Gllin

Another useful command is "readelf -l <filename> | grep interpreter"  
(from the binutils package), which shows the dynamic loader that a  
program is looking for:

       [Requesting program interpreter: /lib/ld-linux.so.3]

I'm not sure about the mtdblock issue, but either a chroot or a 2007.1  
image should work for running gllin (e.g. the Aug 31 image from  
http://buildhost.openmoko.org/OM2007.1/tmp/deploy/images/).
