Just a guess, but perhaps this is not a linking error at all. This looks to me like ld calling write() and the call itself returning ENOSYS. Is there something unusual about the filesystem you’re writing dummy.so to? If the write fails but the file size also increases, I wonder if what you’re seeing is some sort of I/O error. Anything exciting in dmesg and friends?
