Okay I hit the same problem with lvm2 and /usr/lib/libudev.a
Trying to debug the issue now but it looks like a toolchain one.

Grr this is getting funky:

[Comment 3 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2011-08-28 16:00:48 UTC]

The "wt." symbols are generated when using -gdwarf-4. Basically binutils can't yet manage that. Lovely.

[Comment 4 SpanKY 2011-08-29 05:24:21 UTC]

these types of bugs really should be filed upstream.  not like we're going to do any development on the issue ourselves, or backport patches.

[Comment 5 SpanKY 2015-05-25 05:50:15 UTC]

i think this is fixed now by virtue of using a newer version of binutils
