We're not seeing the problem in the parrot executable, just the pbc_to_exe
executable, which makes me believe that the attached patch will fix the
problem.
We rearranged the linker flags for the parrot executable to avoid this a while
back, so we ought to rearrange the linker flags for pbc_to_exe in the same
way.
Does this fix the problem for anyone still seeing it?
