I've submitted a bug report for this: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=472548

Looking through this history of changes, it seems that this was a 
well-intentioned fix as part of moving from "ld -shared" to "gcc 
-shared" a while back (1.3.4 time) that accidentally got carried forward 
even though it wasn't needed due to changes in iptables.
