This bug is known and is being investigated (it's a showstopper for
1.5); apparently ld.elf_so is just a little bit too large and
depending on exactly where you build it (there are __FILE__ strings in
the text) results in a somewhat broken GOT..

workaround:  

do your build with sources in a directory with a short name (like
/usr/src) so the __FILE__ expansions aren't so long.
