I have done it, but do not see anything strange. ldd looks like this,
with and without  the libmap.conf tweak:

angel:~ > ldd /usr/local/diablo-jdk1.5.0/bin/javac
/usr/local/diablo-jdk1.5.0/bin/javac:
        libz.so.3 => /lib/libz.so.3 (0x2808e000)
        libpthread.so.2 => /lib/libpthread.so.2 (0x2809f000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x280c4000)
angel:~ > ldd /usr/local/diablo-jdk1.5.0/bin/javac
/usr/local/diablo-jdk1.5.0/bin/javac:
        libz.so.3 => /lib/libz.so.3 (0x2808e000)
        libpthread.so.2 => /lib/libpthread.old.so.2 (0x2809f000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x280c4000)

readelf -d /lib/libpthread.so.2 also doesn't show anything strange...
I think:

Actually one does not even need a big complex app to see the problem.
Just copy /sbin/ggatec from 6.1 or 6.1-stable to a current box and you
will see it happen:
