Of course, it was a compiler bug.  One which I knew about and had
bitten me before and I had still not recognised :-(.

[It's the one where somehow the GOT register is allocated to the same
hard register as another register.  In this case, the other register
had value 0, but that was OK because ld.so is loaded at address 0 for
'make check'.]
