It seems clear that you have a corrupt object.
When you asked this same question last week, Rod asked you to
use elfdump and report the errors it reported:
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=67508&tstart=0
Did you do that? What did it report on stderr?
Without knowing how this object was produced, I can't
do more than guess. Can you provide us with a copy
of the object?
