Similar problem was reported on ia64 and mipsel, which saw the problem
with -Wl,-z,-defs flag when building gnome-settings-daemon. Bugs were
filed against binutils. Now that 3.0+ was released but my loongson2f
mipsel box has problem starting X recently. I'll add more info once
that problem is fixed.
