The no-dso is silently not valid in 1.1.1c. That option didn't work right, so it was unusable in practice anyway. However, someone recently fixed that up, unfortunately after the last 1.1.1 release. The specific patch may be possible to find on github (unless that branch has been deleted), otherwise you will have to cherry-pick the appropriate commit.
