[DynInst_API:] Cannot link to dyninst 8.0 on Ubuntu

[mkfs <semper.non.sequitur@xxxxxxxxx>]

When linking to libdyinst on Ubuntu (12.04 64-bit), the BPatch
constructor is not found, and the destructor has unresolved symbols:

bash$ g++ -Wall -I/usr/include/dyninst -L/usr/lib -ldyninstAPI
-lcommon dyninst_test.cpp
/tmp/ccfx3YrL.o: In function
`__static_initialization_and_destruction_0(int, int)':

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Reviewing the symbols in libdyninstAPI.so shows that these symbols are
indeed missing:

bash$ nm /usr/lib/libdyninstAPI.so | grep -e 'BPatch[0-9]\+BPatch'
00000000000f0790 T _ZN6BPatch11BPatch_dtorEv
bash$ nm /usr/lib/libdyninstAPI.so | grep -e 'BPatch[0-9]\+bpatch_printf'
bash$

The same error happens with the Ubuntu .deb packages from
http://www.dyninst.org/downloads/dyninst-8.0, and with a build from
the source code tarball from the same place.

The source code tarball is configured with:
  ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/dyninst --disable-testsuite
--enable-gnu-demangler --with-libdwarf-static
...although it should be noted that the same error happened without
the "--enable-gnu-demangler" flag. The '--with-libdwarf-static' flag
is necessary to fix the following error when linking to libdwarf on a
64-bit system "relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be
used when making a shared object"

Given that this happens both with the .deb files and a build from the
tarball, it seems to be a problem with the Ubuntu build (possibly on
64-bit systems) -- or else I am doing something fundamentally wrong
when trying to compile against it.

Has anyone successfully linked to dyninst 8.0 on a 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04
(or greater) system, and if so, how?

The test code, cat dyninst_test.cpp, is as follows:

bash$ cat dyninst_test.cpp
using namespace std;
// no such namespace:
//using namespace Dyninst;

#include "BPatch.h"
BPatch bpatch;
int main(int argc, char ** argv) {
        // this doesn't work either:
	//BPatch * bpatch = new BPatch();
	//if (!bpatch) return -1;
	return 0;
}
