gold not finding symbols in ld-linux.so.2

[Eric Frias <efrias at syncad dot com>]

I'm trying to get gold working on my aging RedHat 7.2 
(i686-pc-linux-gnu) system using gcc-4.0.3 and I ran into a problem.  
Whenever I link against libpthread, I get a linking error:
   gcc -o test test.c -lpthread
   ld: /usr/lib/libpthread.so: undefined reference to '_dl_cpuclock_offset'

I grabbed the binutils source from CVS yesterday (20080630).  test.c is 
just an empty main() function.  This same command links without error 
with my original configuration using binutils 2.17, and it also works 
when using the same binutils-20080630 source configured without 
--enable-gold.

gcc is using identical link lines in both cases.  The symbol 
_dl_cpuclock_offset is defined in /lib/ld-linux.so.2 and referenced in 
libpthread.  The link lines look like:
 ld --eh-frame-hdr -m elf_i386 -dynamic-linker /lib/ld-linux.so.2 -o 
test [lots of objects & libraries]
For some reason, the original ld finds the symbol in /lib/ld-linux.so.2 
while gold does not.  As a workaround, it seems that I can supply 
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 on the command line:
   gcc -o test test.c -lpthread /lib/ld-linux.so.2
and both gold and the original ld link correctly.  I also tried the 
original linker but removed the "-dynamic-linker /lib/ld-linux.so.2" 
from the command line so ld-linux.so.2 wasn't mentioned anywhere and it 
still worked, so I guess it's finding it some other way.

I haven't tried the latest gcc to see if it inserts this library 
automatically, but I'll give that a try tomorrow.  If there's any other 
information I can provide let me know.

Thanks,

Eric
