The problem is in _d_dso_registry. One of the first statements in 
the function is to call _loadedDSOs.empty. But _loadedDOSs is 
null (I do not understand why!) and the application crashes. This 
does not happen if you use -O1 or higher.

If you find the reason for this then please tell me. :-)

(This happens only on ARM. On x86/x86_64, PowerPC 32/64 bit and 
MIPS64 the code works as expected.)
