The binutils 2.9 ld diffs do not work properly; you have to use the
"in-tree" ld with special diffs.  I've made such diffs available at:

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/arm32/ld.diffs

The diff should be passed to patch while in the "src/usr.bin/ld" directory.
These diffs include the necessary diffs to rtld to build a working ld.so.
