I know we've all gotten in the habit of ignoring the
nag email from bugzilla.

I'd like to have some further thoughts on these bugs:

I think these two are the same bug. It seems to me the
test strategy here is making assumptions it maybe
cannot safely make, but until the DCCA problems it
seemed it only happened in "odd" cases (running something
which is not the native architecture, or the specific
kernel architecture, such as ia32 on ia64, ppc32
on a ppc64 kernel, etc.).  Now it's been seen on a
straight ia32 as well.

For this one,
http://bugs.linuxbase.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1079
it's a known issue (see Marvin's nightly-build pages
at http://www.linuxbase.org/~heffler/libchk/ for ppc64)
but for the first time there's some analysis of what's
going on.  What I don't see is how we would code the
test, if the analysis is correct and dladdr is not
useful since that's what the test expects to do.
It's also not clear when this supposed ABI change took 
place (the LSB never listed the .foo symbols as part of
the ABI, by the way).
