Reason for closing:  Won't fix
Additional comments about closing:  exporting LD_BIND_NOW is not supported for starting X. Several other drivers have this problem also.

You shouldn't start X with that variable exported, as it breaks submodule loading. What radeon_drv does is linking against an optional theatre module. The codepath that calls the missing symbols loads the theatre or theatre200 submodule to resolve the missing symbols. Because you start X with LD_BIND_NOW=1, the dlopen code will not get called and the linker refuses to start X because a driver has missing symbols.
