I presume you are using glibc 2.3.1 (or at least some post 2.2.5

during the last two weeks, this will make lookups for simbols in
libraries with more than 2^15 exported symbols fail. The glibc
maintainers have been notified and this is already fixed in the glibc
CVS (elf/dl-runtime.c).
That reminds me of a problem causing gprof to fail on executables
with more than 2^16 symbols; that one was fixed in CVS six months
or so ago. I guess the tools don't get enough testing with
large programs...
