Ah, yes.

I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote that, sorry :)

Is the error message the same if you try to run anything else under 
fakeroot, for example:

$ fakeroot ls -l

If it is, the fakeroot in your current environment is broken. You can 
try recreating the target to see if it's a problem with your target, say

$ sb-conf st host2 -c host-gcc -d perl:debian-etch -t none
$ sb-conf in host2 -c -d -e
$ sb-conf se host2

and retry. Above command should provide you with a clean host target, in 
which you should be able to compile toolchain-extras on top of your 
precompiled toolchain just fine.

The error message is about fakeroot being unable to preload the library 
containing the wrapper functions and thus failing to provide you with 
the fake root environment.

There can be a number of reasons why this is happening.

For further digging in the subject, you can also try

$ which -a fakeroot

in your current target to verify which fakeroot is actually run (and 
check also the hash to see what's in there).
