I forgot something: You didn't have also compiled new libc.a and libm.a with 2.3.1, did you? The old libc.a does not have the assert function/macro mapped to the _eprintf builtin. The problem will occur if you want to have all software coded by 2.3.1/2.3.2 on your machine. BTW: 2.3.2 also has this effect.
