Bug 166055

Disclaimer in front:
I do not have a ppc machine. This report is purely based on the results
I got from the ppc1.fedora.redhat.com build server again and again.
It is not reproducible at all with i386 or x86_64, neither on my own
machines nor on the Fedora Extras build servers. It may be a component
other than "ldd" causing this.

Description of problem:
Output of "LD_DEBUG=files,bindings ldd -r /some/binary" prints lines
which write into eachother like output buffering is broken.

Since bugzilla probably will damage the following examples, a large
build log is here:
http://buildsys.fedoraproject.org/logs//development/10-abicheck-1.2-8/ppc/build.log

Example:

      5129:	binding file /lib/libc.so.6 [0] to /lib/libc.so.6 [0]: normal symbol
`svcauthdes_stats'      5130:	binding file cat [0] to /lib/libc.so.6 [0]: normal
symbol `__libc_start_main' [GLIBC_2.0]
 [GLIBC_2.0]

Instead of:

      5129:	binding file /lib/libc.so.6 [0] to /lib/libc.so.6 [0]: normal symbol
`svcauthdes_stats' [GLIBC_2.0]
      5130:	binding file cat [0] to /lib/libc.so.6 [0]: normal symbol
`__libc_start_main' [GLIBC_2.0]

Second example:

      5129:	binding file /lib/libc.so.6 [0] to /lib/libc.so.6 [0]: normal symbol
`__key_gendes_LOCAL'      5130:	
      5130:	calling init: /lib/libc.so.6
      5130:	
 [GLIBC_2.1]

Instead of:

      5129:	binding file /lib/libc.so.6 [0] to /lib/libc.so.6 [0]: normal symbol
`__key_gendes_LOCAL' [GLIBC_2.1]
      5130:	
      5130:	calling init: /lib/libc.so.6
      5130:	

As a result, parsing this output from ldd doesn't work reliably.
For instance, Perl receives the same broken lines through a pipe.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Rawhide

How reproducible:
Often enough on the ppc build server.
