Nope.  Is is a general, arch-independent bug.  Actually, it is
more of a design problem which causes us not correctly handle
weak symbols in dlopen()d shared libraries.  It is this very
problem that, i.e. is preventing mozilla from running as has
been reported a few times.  It also causes problems with perl,
where weak symbols from libpthread are not correctly handled,
