as the subject says:

  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 281474976710666 Jan 27 20:50 imlib1 -> imlib-base

it isn't the only one, for example

  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 281474976710669 Jan 27 14:43 fd -> /proc/self/fd

i.e. 2**48 + what it should be.

ver_linux says

  Gnu C 2.95.3
  Gnu make 3.79.1
  binutils 2.10.91.0.2
  util-linux 2.10s
  modutils 2.4.2
  e2fsprogs 1.19
  reiserfsprogs 3.x.0b
  PPP 2.4.0
  Linux C Library 2.2.2
  Dynamic linker (ldd) 2.2.2
  Procps 2.0.7
  Net-tools 1.58
  Kbd 1.04
  Sh-utils 2.0.11
  Modules Loaded ppp_deflate bsd_comp ppp_async ppp_generic slhc rtc

the fs is plain ext2, and I'm running 2.4.2-ac16. My first guess
was I was needing a newer foo, but all my foos seem to be OK
(except for reiserfsprogs, but that's another issue).
