Only ld.so is affected (ie. if you build glibc < CVS today with binutils
>= CVS today, ld.so will die).
It relied on the addend being in *r_offset in:
/* Return the run-time load address of the shared object.  */
static inline Elf32_Addr
elf_machine_load_address (void)
{
  register Elf32_Addr pc __asm("%o7"), pic __asm("%l7"), got;

  LOAD_PIC_REG (pic);

  /* Utilize the fact that a local .got entry will be partially
     initialized at startup awaiting its RELATIVE fixup.  */

  __asm("sethi %%hi(.Load_address),%1\n"
        ".Load_address:\n\t"
        "call 1f\n\t"
        "or %1,%%lo(.Load_address),%1\n"
        "1:\tld [%2+%1],%1"
        : "=r"(pc), "=r"(got) : "r"(pic));

  return pc - got;
}

The patch I posted today to libc-hacker doesn't rely on this and is more
robust.
