Ok, success!  Here is what I did.  First, a total failure - I tried to 
apt-build libc6 (2.3.5) on Sarge.  After numerous tries (errors, upgrade 
packages, errors, etc), I finally gave up... decided I should compile on 
Sid, since 2.3.5 is from the Debian testing branch.
So I started over with a Sid install.  This time, it compiled 
successfully.  I changed debian/rules to include "-mno-tls-direct-seg-refs" 
in BUILD_CFLIGS and HOST_CFLAGS, and fudged debian/control to make 
libc6-i686 dependent on libc6 (>= 2.3.5-6), so it could be installed with 
other libc6 packages of the same version.  Here's the result:
http://members.dslextreme.com/users/andylee/libc6-i686_2.3.5-6.xen_i386.deb

With it, my Sid DomU doesn't give the TLS warning.

Earlier I mentioned that I needed this to install Mercurial 0.6c.  But 
during the long compiling time, I compiled hg 0.6c successfully on my libc 
2.3.2 environmetn, so I didn't need libc 2.3.5 after all.
