[bug-recutils] recutils-1.5 test failure on GNU/Linux SPARC

[Nelson H. F. Beebe]

Repeated attempts to build and validate recutils-1.5 on GNU/Linux
SPARC (Gentoo 2.0.3) have failed here.  The build part succeeds with
gcc (Gentoo 4.5.3-r1 p1.0, pie-0.4.5) 4.5.3, but "make check" gets
missing run-time symbols:

Does anyone have any idea what is causing this?  

The missing symbol rec_record_mset is defined in src/rec-record.c, but
that object is not being found at run time.
