So far I have only seen the 'ld ... invalid version' issue in Ubuntu 
Xenial i386.
It doesn't occur in Ubuntu Xenial amd64.

Reverting fix-underlinking.patch does appear to fix it.

Strangely, the issue does not occur in Ubuntu Wily i386 (after 
backporting dsfmt 2.2.3+dfsg-2, utf8proc 1.3.1-2 and openlibm 
0.4.1+dfsg-4 git 353a95f).
This makes me think it is not an Ubuntu issue.

What if one of julia's dependencies currently in Xenial was linked 
against an older version of libm?
Would this cause ld to complain about an invalid version?
Would rebuilding this dependency solve the problem?
