Argh. Adding -fPIC to the flags of an icecream compile run does help.
Somehow. dlopen no longer fails and the build succeeds. kde4init
hangs forever without any error message, but it is possible for programs
started at the framebuffer console to use the X server. I´ll have to investigate
this issue further.
