Since you haven't given more context (especially, where
_dl_catch_error is called) I cannot analyze this more.  I looked at
some code and found the uses of this function in dl-deps.c not
correct.  I've fixed this.  But not the way you did.

The way _dl_catch_error is used is strange (at best).  It has
historical reasons and should be cleaned up some day.  But not now.
Stabilization is key.

Take a look at the changes I just checked in and let me know whether
they solve your problem.  And if possible, provide a test case.
