Random failures while loading iwmmxt compiled binaries

[Rex Ashbaugh]

I don't see anything wrong on the surface.
You might rebuild your eglibc with the code at _dl_important_hwcaps
instrumented for debug.
Some kind of minimal logging could be added.
Anything to give you more visiblity as to what data sequence leads to the
bug.

The log data could be written to a 'shared' mmap area in memory. A separate
program could mmap the same area and dump the log for you after the segfault
occurs. The log buffer should 'wrap'  so you don't end up with too much
data.
