Re: Problem with GNU ld version 2.14.90.0.1 20030505 (Linux)

[Daniel Jacobowitz]

This is something which was not signalled as an error in earlier
releases, but IMO it really is a bug.  It means that the DSO in
question (does LD print out which DSO it is?) was not properly linked
against -lc.  If it had been, it would have its own copy of atexit.
