Hi,

> the real problem is in ld.elf_so, please try the attached patch.

With an -O0 lint, I was able to build and install the patched ld.elf_so, 
and with the new ld.elf_so, I was able to build and use lint without the 
-O0. So yes, that did it!

Will you commit and request pullups, or would you like me to?

Thanks,
John Klos
