Well, I maybe overoptimistic about it, but ld.so consist of 80% C-code 
with some intrusions of #define and __asm__. I see no reason why such a 
definitive "no" should be here :-)
If someone can tell me in which register (or where) the GOT should be 
upon loading the executable and stuff like relocation types (I guess I 
can find most of them in binutils' code) then it's all fixed. I don't 
think kernels are *that* different for sparc and mips.
