sorry, I should have been exact, I already used __volatile__. The only dirty
trick I found so far is to clobber the PIC register.

BTW, don't you have problems with glibc-2.1.1 and gcc-2.95pre on Sparc? On PPC
the addresses of _dl_rtld_map and _dl_debug_statistics are loaded out of the
GOT before the ELF_DYNAMIC_RELOCATE happens in _dl_start(). I think the
cleanest solution is to move the end of _dl_start() to a separate file.
