I have filed port-sh3/26949 and committed a fix for it, revision 1.4
of libexec/ld.elf_so/arch/sh3/rtld_start.S

I will request the pull-up to 2.0, but I really NEED YOUR HELP.  I
need someone to test this on the 2.0 branch (2.0 is at revision 1.3 of
that file, so pulling this fix up is trivial).  The 2.0 freeze is
already in effect, so I can't request the pull-up w/out a clean build
+ boot test on at least one sh3 platform (well, in theory all pull-ups
should be tested like this, freeze or not :).  But I have absolutely
no time to do that, so I'd very much appreciate if someone can do the
test and drop me a mail.

Thanks in advance.

PS: The original bug should be reproducible with fc-list - which
doesn't require a running X server.

SY, Uwe
