This is the infamous `multiply defined symbol' bug.
It's due to a bug in ld.so. 

The simple fix is to install the ld.so from 1.3.1, which fixes this
bug. It's entirely safe to run the newer ld.so on 1.3_BETA.

I'd really recommend that people upgrade to 1.3.1, otherwise I'd make
the ld.so binary available separate.

Ps: i havent checked, but if you go to -current, then dynamically
linking should work too.
