Comment(by simonmar):

 I traced it back to this:

 commit 08617e73af61459c9ccc6072b343fe88e48a9baf
 {{{
 Author: Clemens Fruhwirth <clemens at endorphin.org>
 Date:   Mon Oct 13 16:12:20 2008 +0000

     Import n_capabilities via import symbol when linking dynamically
 }}}

 but I'm not sure why it was needed either.  Go ahead and commit...
