Earlier binutils doesn't correctly link together 2 shared libs (libgcc.so and
libc.so in this case) which have the same version of a symbol, but aren't
both linktime references. The PPC solution was only possible after hjl fixed
a few binutils bugs. The fixes went into 2.13.90.4 and 2.13.1. IIRC the best
case was binutils refusing to link glibc with some strange error message,
but I think it was also possible to get a corrupted libc.so.
