Both Fedora 19 and 20 have the patch needed for this to work.  Hmm, I
suppose the other thing necessary is a gcc that implements
LDPT_GET_SYMBOLS_V2.  You may be lacking that.  Here's what I see with
mainline gcc and ld.

cat > ltoshare.c <<\EOF
int
cond (void)
{
  return 0;
}

extern void something (void);

int
main (void)
{
  if (cond ())
    something ();
  return 0;
}
EOF
cat > ltoshare.ver <<\EOF
{
  global: main;
  local: *;
};
EOF
