I also had a problem where X wouldn't start when compiled with -Wl,-Bdirect and LD_BIND_DIRECT=1 was set. I discovered that if I recompile x11-libs/libXfont without -Wl,-Bdirect, X starts fine with LD_BIND_DIRECT=1. My whole system has now been compiled with -Wl,-Bdirect (except for libXfont).

I reported my findings in Bug #114008.

I don't have binutils 2.16.1-r1 nor gcc 3.4.4, and the whole system is built with -Bdirect.
The problem might be a binutils bug or somewhere else, I'd rather stick in the safe side anyway.

I reinstalled following the Conrad Install Guide (except with safer CFLAGS) and the problem disappeared (xorg 7.0 starts fine with LD_BIND_DIRECT set).

So it could be caused by binutils-2.16.1-r1, or by gcc 3.4.4, or by having only some of your system compiled with -Bdirect.
