The package is slurm and the issue is their plugins. It's a deep architectural
problem unfortunately,To summarize the issue briefly: When designing a plugin system, the
services a plugin providesought not depend on the environment that loads it. That is not
the case for slurm. Their pluginscontain symbols that refer back to the program that
loads them.
Suppose you have a plugin P loaded by programs A and B. Slurm's plugins often
contain symbols a in A and b in B. When program A loads plugin P, the symbols b remain
unresolved. When program B loads plugin P, the symbols a remain unresolved.
I have spent hours supplying complex patches for them to "harden" and meet the
bind now requirement,They acknowledge the problem but do not have enough customers
complaining about it yet. Slurm issoftware deployed in large HPC research centers
typically (hundred, thousands or more nodes).

My particular concern is not "missing" bind now flags in
the elf objects. I am concerned about
making sure bind now is omitted because the package cannot operate with that flag.
Please tell us the name of the packages, and some indication of why
the package does not work with BIND_NOW. Having specific information
might help to identify and understand a more-general situation.
