The assertion comes from ld.so, which is not a part of the kernel but  
part of glibc. It means that either their is a bug in the particular  
glibc/ld.so on the other machine, or at least an incompatibility  
between how we do things and what that glibc's ld.so expects (although  
afaik we're not doing anything special).
