No, it compiles and links OK but at runtime the DT_NEEDED entries are
missing so LD_BIND_NOW=1 ./vfolder-magic gives undefined reference
errors.

GNU ld version 2.15.92.0.2 20040927

This is from Fedora Core 3 so it's pretty recent.

I haven't tried a newer one. Do you recommend trying the last release or
CVS?
