got a problem with a library that calls a function from executable

[Thomas Dettbarn <dettbarn_(_at_)_informatik_(_dot_)_uni-hamburg_(_dot_)_de>]

hello.
i don't know wether this is the right adress to turn to.
anyhow, this one drives me mad: i have downloaded and compiled icarus verilog,
and it is designed to dynamically load a shared library, which calls a
function from the executable. 

anyhow, ld.so isn't able to find the function, so it throws me a "lazy binding
failed." 
this problem drives me mad! so i tried using LD_BIND_NOW, but this wasn't 
working as well. 
i recall that it was working on openbsd 3.3. 

a little help, please?
