Don't ignore this - it's the actual problem.  If you replace your -current
/usr/libexec/ld.so with the one from 1.3.x, it will work fine.

The problem is that on 1.3.x, RTLD_GLOBAL isn't defined by <dlfcn.h> - it's
the default.  On -current. RTLD_{GLOBAL,LOCAL} is defined there, and the
default was changed to RTLD_LOCAL, which broke binaries. 

I've added a fix to -current that changes the default behavior (neither flag
specified) back to RTLD_GLOBAL, after discussing it on tech-toolchain; that
will fix this in later builds of -current's ld.so.
