I'm seeing it in glib 2.18.2 which doesn't have any c++ code.  Running
gtester gives "gtester: Unsupported relocation type 232 in non-PLT
relocations" and gobject-query gives "gobject-query: Unsupported
relocation type 72 in non-PLT relocations".

I am using netbsd's patched gcc 4.1.3 with stock binutils 2.19.  Perhaps I
will switch to netbsd's binutils to see if that makes a difference.
