Yeah.
Interesting thing to try would be to wipe out the DT_RELACOUNT dynamic tag
(say in hex editor or using libelf) and see whether it works.
I think I remember Solaris ld.so was unsure whether DT_RELACOUNT is R_*_RELATIVE
relocs from start of .rela.dyn or from end of that section. Older versions
did it the latter way newer the right (former) way.
Maybe they even have patches to fix ld.so, somebody with Solaris
should check.
