Before I cut the release I built uClibc 0.9.21 and ran the entire
LTP testsuite on powerpc (Debian testing), so I feel pretty
confidant this is a MontaVista gcc 2.95.3 for powerpc bug.

But I've gone ahead and made them static const char *s, and
simplified things a bit removing the redundant "libc.so.",
so hopefully that particular bug will no longer be tickled
for you...
