Thx for your help.
Ah my bad, I didn't notice you were using the binary drivers. I don't think they support dlloader in any current release, although you can try hacking them around yourself. A fairly recent post on xorg@lists.freedesktop.org by Adam Jackson shows how to do this using `ld`. If you don't have a need for hardware-accelerated 3D, the `ati` driver should work fine.
I get this error without using binary drivers (I normally use nvidia binaries, but using the nv drivers that come with xorg didn't help).
It's a PIC problem, or at least it was here.
(In reply to comment #5) > It's a PIC problem, or at least it was here. > I get the same problem over here with xorg-x11-6.8.2-r1 on AMD64 'stable'.

*** Bug 99879 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
so, to sum up: a) USE="pic dlloader" with the usual caveat that there's no dlloader version of fglrx yet. speaking as upstream, we'll take patches to make PLT32 and GOTPCREL relocations work on amd64 with elfloader. however, in the future (all 6.8.99.x snapshots, and the upcoming 6.9 and 7.0 releases) elfloader will be disabled by default. suggest marking this as either UPSTREAM (if patches appear) or WONTFIX.
Alright, I'll mark WONTFIX. If some brave soul supplies the patches we'll change the status here.
