Xorg-6.9 .0 Built, won't configure

I have Xorg-6.9 compiled, installed, but I'm falling over on the
Xorg -configure stage as follows

dlopen: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so: undefined symbol: drmGetLibVersion
(EE) Failed to load /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so

etc. Every single video driver fails (cga, vesa, etc). Freedesktop has this hidden onsite (can't post url yet)
dlloader will not work when LD_BIND_NOW is set, or when the
modules are linked with '-z now' as in gentoo-hardened. this is
unavoidable until we abandon LoadSubModule for link-time
dependencies. you'll get an error message about LD_BIND_NOW
though.

Workaround: fix your scripts to clear LD_BIND_NOW before starting X
Workaround (maybe): export LD_BIND_NOT=1 before starting X.

Indicates it's a LD problem. I have a hardened system - HLFS (hardened linux from scratch). I have tried the workarounds (they fail) and gone adding '-nonow' to MODLDFLAGS in the Xserver area which should, & recompiling. All the above files are in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers. What next?

Do you have libdrm.so?

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, libdrm.so is in X11R6/lib/modules/linux. But it's not only the drm modules that crap out - framebuffer, vesa, and vga modules all do as well. This link
http://fredesktop.org/~ajax/dlloader.txt

points to the linker on my hardened system as a cause. The linker is actually
defined as 'gcc -m32 -nostdlib'; On top of that, there is a bevy of options thrown in (by patching) to achieve hardened compiling. I've just had an intelligent suggestion from one of the hardening gurus on changing them to change the linking options, and I'm hopeful about that. I'll build that this evening and post if successful.
