Woody: Relocation error when calling stat/fstat from shared library

[Leif Thuresson <LThuresson@rsasecurity.com>]

I have come across a strange bug in woody when createing a shared
library.
If  I make a shared library and calls the glibc functions stat() or 
fstat() from
within my shared library I get a relocation error when I run a program 
using my library.
If  I don't call stat/fstat but only other glibc functions like open, 
close etc.
the program runs fine
When I first noticed this problem I only got the error when I linked the 
shared
library with a version-script to only export the functions used by my 
program.
I then upgraded binutils from
binutils_2.11.92.0.12.3-3_i386.deb
to 
binutils_2.11.92.0.12.3-6_i386.deb
and now I get the error both with and without using the version-script !.
I use gcc version 2.95.4 and glibc 2.2.4.

I also tested and recompiled the shared library and program on
a readhat 6.2 system at my work and there every thing ran without errors.

Any ideas ?
