Unfortunately, my knowledge of binary file internals like the global offset
table is rather limited. I know that stuff like compiling without -fpic and
then trying to build a shared library is not the best of ideas, but I’ve never
had any GOT-related problems before.

Do you have any idea what compiler option Oracle might have used incorrectly
that caused this code?

What I don’t get is why the older GNU ld seems to link these objects files into
a shared library just fine. If that’s the case, the older ld must have a way to
properly deal with these assembly instructions, right?
