Hello everybody, I have found my mistake. I apologize for not telling the whole truth about my build process. The answer is what it had to be: There was one step I had forgotten about: My build script stripped all binaries, i.e. it ran /usr/bin/strip on all of them. That's especially embarrasing because you had already asked whether I had 'somehow enabled a link-time optimization to remove "unreferenced" symbols'. I've grown up during times when disk space was precious, and it seems that I have to reconsider all my old habits. It's interesting that it's the first time after building hundreds of software packages on many different systems over many years, that I have broken something by using strip. It still doesn't cause trouble on the other OSes that I use, but maybe I'm going to abandon it. Thank you for your patience.
