How can this issue be reproduced?  I tried, but failed:

  # mkdir foo; mklibs -d foo /bin/ls
  I: Using /lib/ld.so as dynamic linker.
  I: library reduction pass 1
  108 symbols, 108 unresolved
  I: library reduction pass 2
  291 symbols, 178 unresolved
  I: library reduction pass 3
  325 symbols, 9 unresolved
  I: library reduction pass 4
  325 symbols, 9 unresolved
  # ls foo/
  ld.so.1  libc.so.0.3  libhurduser.so.0.3  libmachuser.so.1
  #

Is the issue fixed, or is something else needed to reproduce it?
