The pointer initially points to a helper which loads an index parameter specifying which function to bind, then jumps into dyld.  Dyld is erroring because the index is out of range.

Nick,
    I attached dragonegg_so_lazy_bind.txt and LLVMPolly_so_lazy_bind.txt to http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=14140.
Is there anything significant in those lists of lazy pointers relative to the failure we are seeing? FYI, I see the same
failure for both x86_64-apple-darwin11 and x86_64-apple-darwin12 with current llvm/polly/dragonegg svn using Xcode 4.5.1's
linker.

Thanks in advance.
