You seem to be curing the symptoms here, it looks like a bug in binutils
to me. The _gp_disp symbol has no fixed value (it's "distance from PC to
GP" used for relocs in text; it has special rules even for that, to
determine the actual value of the PC to be used against) and as such it
shouldn't get past the static link. I can see it's now exported as a
dynamic symbol even.
Richard, do you happen to know what is going on here?
