I would rebuild both the working and non-working versions of the module
with -vvvvv and try to find any difference in there. Failing that, I
would look at differences in the modules themselves (maybe with objdump
and diff) then try to figure out where it comes from.

A more detailed description of what (doesn't) work(s) would also help.
