This patch seems to break libc on ia64. ld-2.13.so produced with
binutils using this patch works when called as a standalone, but just
segfault when used with other binaries:

| $ ./ld.so 
| Usage: ld.so [OPTION]... EXECUTABLE-FILE [ARGS-FOR-PROGRAM...]
| You have invoked `ld.so', the helper program for shared library executables.
| This program usually lives in the file `/lib/ld.so', and special directives
| in executable files using ELF shared libraries tell the system's program
| loader to load the helper program from this file.  This helper program loads
| the shared libraries needed by the program executable, prepares the program
| to run, and runs it.  You may invoke this helper program directly from the
| command line to load and run an ELF executable file; this is like executing
| that file itself, but always uses this helper program from the file you
| specified, instead of the helper program file specified in the executable
| file you run.  This is mostly of use for maintainers to test new versions
| of this helper program; chances are you did not intend to run this program.
| 
|   --list                list all dependencies and how they are resolved
|   --verify              verify that given object really is a dynamically linked
|                         object we can handle
|   --library-path PATH   use given PATH instead of content of the environment
|                         variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH
|   --inhibit-rpath LIST  ignore RUNPATH and RPATH information in object names
|                         in LIST
|   --audit LIST          use objects named in LIST as auditors
| $ ./ld.so  /bin/ls
| Segmentation fault
| 

I don't know what is the best way to proceed for debugging this issue. I
can provide you the correct and the broken ld.so if it can help.

Thanks,
Aurelien
