Finally managed to look at the patches... and don't like them.  Code like


+             if (! _dl_loaded
+                 || _dl_loaded->l_addr != 0
+                 || caller < _dl_loaded->l_map_start)


makes certain assumptions about the memory layout and load addresses.
This should not happen.  There is no reason why the application code
should always be below all dynamically loaded code.  In fact, isn't
the x86 emulation on IA-64 doing something funny like this?

I hope I can take a look at this myself soon.
