I think this is going to become an increasingly prominent problem. 
You can create testcases for this in C++, if your system starts C++
programs up in startup code which is auto(asm) instead of c++.  I think
it's as simple as:
  (gdb) break classname::func

And we won't correctly load the class.  This happens on Solaris, not
sure about GNU/Linux.
