I understand that principle, however, I've hit this situation literally
dozens and dozens of times (I used to package for Mandriva, which made a
very similar linker migration several releases ago) and have seen
'undefined reference to symbol' messages always, but have never seen the
'could not read symbols' error before. Which is why I felt it was
unusual.
