Well, I don't really know much. I only know I got the problem once and
that was because of a gcc bug, which is not yet fixed (though #331460
is marked fixed, it actually isn't entirely fixed, there are still
issues with c++ code using visibility).

Now, it seems the involved code doesn't set visibility. The best for
Michael to do is to grep PLT in the generated assembler code and check
what can be generating those.

Cheers,

Mike
