I don't know.  I'm going to do a make world on thud tonight, I'll see
if that improves things.

 * I don't really need the common.so file so I and you can omit its 
 * generation or ignore the above error. I do need the correct shared 
 * objects that should go into common.so, however.
 * 
 * The file would be used later to build libsm_client.so.1.0 like this:
 * 
 *   ld -Bshareable -o libsm_client.so.1.0 ../common/common.so */*.so
 * 
 * but this step fails because the linker failed to tag the common.so
 * as a proper dynamic object (the __DYNAMIC symbol would be 0 instead
 * of 2 or 3 whatever the Sun and the FreeBSD tag was) and hence fails 
 * to link it into the library. This sequence of steps works flawlessly 
 * on 1.1.5 and I filed a bug report gnu/655.
