Comment 22 for bug 1248642

I also get 'Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-version.c: 224: _dl_check_map_versions: Assertion `needed != ((void *)0)' failed!' when running a OpenGL tutorial build, with nvidia 331.20 driver. The system is Mint 16.

Adding the suggested gcc flags wasn't an effective workaround for me, and the preload option still resulted in another runtime error, so I would like to add that the 'solution' in my case was to exchange the linker.

If I change /usr/bin/ld to refer to /usr/bin/ld.gold instead of as usual /usr/bin/ld.bfd the program builds and runs fine. Does anyone know a way to specify the linker as a command line option by the way? Making changes to /bin might not be a practical option for some people, and I'm not entirely pleased with it myself.
