  It could also be worth asking about on the binutils list.

  I *think* (but am not sure) that it's to do with linking mixed -fPIC and 
non-fPIC code, perhaps libprorex.so wasn't compiled with it?  Or perhaps it's 
something from libgcc that needs multilibbing against fPIC.  Binutils list 
ought to be able to help.
