This is related to lsb runtime implementation. At this moment 
/lib/ld-lsb.so.1 is a link to /lib/ld-linux.so.2. I found that 
applications compiled with patched gcc are linked against 
/lib/ld-lsb.so.1. But shared libraries are still linked against 
ld-linux.so.2. I was trying to solve this problem.
