Well, I kind of managed to work around this problem by building the
shared library by hand.

Assuming that all the .o files built with the -fpic option is in
 mit/lib/Xmu/shared, cd into this directory. Then:

 % lorder *.o | tsort | xargs ar q tmplib_pic.a
 % ld -o ../libXmu.so.5.0 -Bshareable -Bforcearchive tmplib_pic.a

Using this method, the shared library gets built properly.

The problem is probably caused by a bug in the loader.

BTW, I use John Brezak's patches from nov. 15th and -current sources
from dec. 13th.
