It is worse for me. Absolutely no applications, be they C++ or C, are
linked properly. Consider this small example:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
__attribute__((noinline))
int f(const char *a, const char *b) { return strcmp(a, b); }
int main() { printf("%x\n", f("foo", "bar")); }
If you compile it dynamically, you get a segfault due to strcmp being placed in
a non-executable page.
If you compile it statically, you get the address of function _libc_start
instead of executing strcmp.
Same thing happens with strlen et al, which explains that all
applications a bit complicated will segfault before even reaching main
(due to dynamic loading relying on strlen).
This is on Lucid Lynx with binutils 2.20.1-3ubuntu5 on amd64. It was
working fine on Karmic.
