This warns you that ld was unable to avoid run-time relocations to the text
segment of the program it is building. This results in some of the pages of
the run-time image to become unshareable (because ld.so must write to it),
thus possibly degrading system performance although the program may still
run correctly.

The occurance of the message definately points at a set of tools/shared libs
that are out of sync. Please check your versions of gcc & gas. Note that there
was a time frame on lamp about ten days ago where a version of gas existed
that was incompatible with the then current gcc.
