The bug could be in many places, but not in ld.elf_so:
1. If the source is compiled with -fPIC or -fpic, then it should not emit
   R_VAX_32; if it does then it is an assembler bug.
2. If the source is not compiled with -fPIC or -fpic, then it is ok to
   emit R_VAX_32, but but then the linker should mark the object with
   DT_TEXTREL so that the rtld knows to mmap the text writable before
   doing relocations.

Can you investigate who is at fault? The package for not passing -f{PIC,pic}?
The assembler/linker? Both?
