I had filed this bug against glibc to drive the patch in:

Note that the next major release from the NVIDIA driver includes a wrapper for most of the external calls, which should suppress the x86-specific relocation problem that I described in my original message to the list.

Note that my comment above didn't mean to imply the loader patch was unnecessary, both steps are needed to achieve optimal results.
