This is a bug in the Linux ELF linker ld(1) under Slackware 3.0.
One workaround is to build and use a.out executables; the new Linux supports
both formats and can build a.out Icon binaries if compiler and library support
for a.out is installed. There may be a preferable workaround; if someone has
encountered this problem and actually solved it, it would be great to hear how.
