There are some BTS entries with relevent information on Sam's
concerns.
For instance, bug #95905 is something to watch out for (libtool
removing parameters to ld command line).
I am sure though there was a bug report I found previously
along the lines of "Cannot build from source on sparc" for the
exactly the same reasons Sam said, but I cannot seem to find it
right now.
IIRC it wasn't a bug in ld, its more along the lines of the static
initialization code which is automatically linked in, and cannot use use
versioned symbols, or otherwise the linker cannot find it.
(In case that doesn't make sense, I will keep trying to look for this
bug report).
