Subject: libc/ldso dependency in shared-lib maxima?

Greetings! I maintain the Debian package of maxima, which has
recently been accepted for installation into the unstable tree. I've
included Dr. Schelter's patch enabling shared (not static) linking to
the system C and math libraries. With this patch, we've had a working
package in incoming for some time now.
Meanwhile, I forgot about maxima for a bit, upgraded my machine to the
slightly newer versions of the Debian system packages, and suddenly
maxima segfaults. Another Debian user sees the same thing and has
filed a bug. Rebuilding on my upgraded system restores functionality.
Luckily, I can chase this down if I hurry, as I still have access to a
pre-upgrade machine which can build maxima with debugging symbols.
I would be greatly appreciative, though, if anyone had an insight as
to where to look in advance.
Take care,
