[Linux-ia64] Bug in dynamic linker (glibc 2.2.2)

[Francis Galiegue <fg@mandrakesoft.com>]

Hi,

Well, at least, the dynamic linker says it has a bug, but I don't know whether
it's actually the linker or another component. Bug shows on ia64 but not on
Alpha, x86, Sparc{,64} nor PPC.

The bug: when building qt 2.3.0, using libmng 1.0.0, when it comes to build the
designer, this error occurs when it tries to run uic:

BUG IN DYNAMIC LINKER ld.so: dl-version.c: 217: _dl_check_map_versions:
Assertion `needed != ((void *)0)' failed!

I made a foo test program which only uses mng_version_text() of said library,
tried to link and run it and... it succeeds!

Second thing which I've tried: update my toolchain RPM with RedHat patches,
recompiled libmng with it, then retried qt. Same result.

All calls to ldd uic croak with the same error as well. But calling ldd on foo
succeeds.

I noticed that RedHat fisher uses mng 0.9.4 instead of 1.0.0, and this is what
I will try right now. Has anyone else encountered this bug? What can I do to
chase it down?
