SPARC, unless GOTOFF like relocs are added cannot, it still has to use a
R_SPARC_RELATIVE reloc and thus we must not reference it
before ld.so relocation. For Alpha, I'll look when I wake up.

Note that i386-linux glibc build segfaults in ld.so ATM too (while
i686-linux works), both using gcc 3.2. In that case it seems like
%ebx was not set up as early as needed before _dl_start first references it.
