What does this error mean?

You could try running with LD_DEBUG=1 which will generate a trace of
all the dynamic loader actions for the working and non-working cases,
and compare how the symbols are being resolved?

This is useful for example if your dynamic libraries are being built
incorrectly by libtool, which has been the cause of other failures
I've seen in the past.

Yes, 4.3 is different from 4.4, I have CC'd John David Anglin our GCC
expert to see if he is aware of any known issues.

No, I would expect the linker to detect this problem (as it does in
the case of the bug example).

I'm not aware of any issues associated with the compiler.

Cheers,
