[Bug ports/10201] ld.so fails to link on alpha due to relocation errors

["vapier at gentoo dot org" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

------- Additional Comments From vapier at gentoo dot org  2010-05-04 22:50 -------
i added this to the Gentoo patchset because i was hitting this error.  my system
is obviously using Gentoo patches, but they are by & large bug fixes/backports.
 i havent attempted a pure vanilla build since gcc/glibc vanilla releases of
late tend to have problems on alpha, and because i dont believe the original
reporter here is using Gentoo.

perhaps the important piece is that we're both targeting alphaev68-linux-gnu and
not something like alpha-linux-gnu ...

this is the build failure as seen with gcc-4.4.3 and glibc-2.11.1 (reformatted
slightly for bugzilla comment posting):
