If you still have problems after upgrading to 2.9.4.0.6 below, I'm willing 
to look further into it, but I assume it will be difficult, as you don't 
know the exact cause yourself. Can we rule out bugs in your source here? 
Did the executables created with 2.9.4.0.5 on x86 work fine? I'll also post 
my patch for the noinhibit-exec problem on the binutils-list for review 
later today.

Ok, the LD_RUN_PATH should be fixed now with:
