This, and probably most other "PLT symbol" warnings that occur at runtime
can be fixed by adding -Wl,-E to the link of the loading application.

I got gimp-current functional by prepending that option to the LDFLAGS 
assignment in graphics/gimp-current/work/*/app/Makefile, removing gimp
from that directory and invoking make there. The subsequent installation
comes up fine. I haven't taken the time to re-do the patch files for
gimp-current to apply this correctly during patching/configuring.
