Looking at the results of the tests executed
by plugin.exp on x86_64 Fedora 10, I don't see
any evidence that -rdynamic is ever used. Can't
we reduce the tests performed as follow since 
only -shared appears to be actually used? Removing
these tests would eliminate all of the problems
with not having 'nm -D' or objdump on different hosts.

ps I understand we are removing the test for
exported symbols but isn't that understood to
be satisfied when -shared is used?
