Change all the 'int use_inet6 = 0;' and 'int opts = 0;'
to 'int use_inet6;' and 'int opts;' so that they become part of the
crunched programs BSS.

You need to have one copy of the library code - so all the programs
must share the same global data items that it referes to.

A similar problem occurs when shared libraries try to access program
global data - especially when the library code has been dlopen()ed by
a dlopen()ed library.  It is difficult for the two libraries to suceed
in referencing the same piece of data.
