Note this fixes the badly formatted error message, but *not* the other
problem that some people have observed, for example with pkg:

See point 4) in Matthias's mail.  Since r253839, ld was changed to

with this behavior: sometimes, DT_NEEDED dependencies *are*
automatically pulled in, sometimes they are not...

If anyone has a clue what is wrong, please let us know. :-)
