It was fixed after 5.2.1-RELEASE and 4.11-RELEASE. Please see commit log also for details. So we decided to mark these port as BROKEN for them. However, a patch for rtld.c for 4-RELENG and a patch for rtld.c for 5-RELENG are available, and it is totally unsupported. At your own risk, and feedback is welcome.
