Well, if you'd checked the mailing list archive before updating (or read
-current between  your last cvsup and the one that break stuff) you'd have
noticed that there were some changes to the way errno is handled (has to be
a macro for correct handling in threaded programs) which give exactly the
symptoms you describe. You'd also see that this horse has already been flogged
to death and back.

BTW, simply attributing that problem to 'elf' really shows that you did some
proper research before contacting the mailing list. Sheesh.
