Re: upgrade 6-STABLE to -CURRENT on sparc64 renders box unusable

Well, in fact I did manage to debug this further. :)

The problem is that on sparc64 and -CURRENT, every executable segfaults in

  _rtld
   init_rtld
    relocate_objects
     reloc_non_plt
      mmap
       __getosreldate

It appears that __getosreldate was added five days ago, which may explain 
why the breakage on sparc64 hasn't been reported yet. (I am ccing peter_at_ 
since he committed this.)

If I apply the following patch, then rebuild libc, things are more or less 
ok again. Of course this patch is very suboptimal, I am just trying to 
point out where the problem is.
