Not impossible I guess, but the out of range relocation is usually
reported for the faulty object.
A common cause for this problem is a static library (those are usually
built without -fPIC) getting linked into a shared object. Debian has a
new xlibs-pic package to overcome this problem.
It is indeed strange that the JDK plugin doesn't even have a relocation
for 'ect' - could it be a bug in the dynamic linker after all, mangling
the relocation for 'select' or another symbol containing 'ect'?
