I've got the DEBUG_SPAM output now and from that it should work.

I deduces that it needs atexit from the libc and tells gcc to include
that in the stripped version. But then it won't appear in the stripped
version.

It looks eigther like a gcc bug or the atexit symbol is defined in a
strange way that prevents it from resolving in the stripped version of
the libc.

Can someone with this problem try to run the library reduction on

#include <stdlib.h>
void bla(void) {}
int main() {
  atexit(bla);
  return 0;
}

and the libc with nothing else cluttering the output.

Its the same behaviour the broken libc had on i386.
