Annoying but unavoidable. There's no way to override the location of
the dynamic linker at make world time, for security-related reasons.
An important bugfix to the Alpha binutils required an updated dynamic
linker to handle the new relocation type. The new dynamic linker was
committed well before the binutils changes that required it. But
still it can bite people who aren't tracking -current very closely.
That's life in currentland.
