Trouble with dynamic executables

[bhanuprakash bodireddy]

I had a similar issue the other day when i did a fresh build world. I tried
it to reproduce the issue you reported and its pretty much there in the
trunk.
But the last buildworld has no such issues and am still using the same old
fs image to boot on to the octeon boards.

I believe, some recent fixes should have caused this.

Thanks,
Bhanu Prakash.
