I seem to recall running into this problem when using a
compiler/assembler combination that didn't understand symbol type
information properly.  In my situation, it was only a problem for
dynamically linked binaries.

Do statcially-linked binaries show the problem as well?  Maybe your
compiler and assembler are out of sync somehow.  (I've not been
following all of the assembler-related changes, but I know there was a
change to the type specifier character, and I don't recall if it was
done so that the specifier used by the old compiler works properly.)
