Re: ld.so : bad dynamic tag

[Pamela Weber <pam_weber at icon-labs dot com>]

Thanks for the reply. The linker version is:
 ld -v
GNU ld version 2.10.90 (with BFD 2.10.0.12)

The glibc is:
libc-2.1.3.so

Please tell me if I am not providing the correct info.  When the problem
happens, if we clean and make the entire project (object > 2M), it seems to
correct itself. Compiling a portion of the module, will not clear it up - this
could be a coincidence.
