A shared library created with the "bad" binutils exports millicode syms it
isn't supposed to, which the linker later rejects, resulting in .plt-1
references.  The assert should still have triggered...

A quick check whether a library is good is:
nm --dynamic <lib> | grep '\$\$'

This will show exported millicode syms since they start with '$$'.
