Comment(by pgj):

 Replying to [comment:8 kazu-yamamoto]:
 > Please merge these patches.

 Note that due to the referenced bug in the `rtld(1)`, they can only work
 on a recent version of FreeBSD-CURRENT at the moment.  I suppose the
 rtld(1) fix will be merged back to 8-STABLE and 9-STABLE in a week or so,
 but 8.4-RELEASE may not contain this fix, and we will have to wait for
 another couple of weeks for 9.2-RELEASE to "officially" have it.  On the
 other hand, there should be some support for older release as well, i.e.
 for the releases (8.x, pre 9.2) who still has this bug in handling
 `$ORIGIN`.

 I shall consult Ian on the possible scenarios, but definitely want to
 merge this patches as soon as possible.
