Well, it's a bug really. Just a bug that I don't know how to fix...

Ah, okay. Well, I suspect that the shared library loader is trying to
resolve the symbols in swtXXX.so and failing for some reason, and then
the loader gets confused, probably because of a dependency on
libgcc.so. It's not legal AFAIK to have static and dynamic versions
of libgcc.so in the same binary.
