Its the issue here:

https://sourceware.org/ml/glibc-bugs/2015-01/msg00274.html
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17908

Basically, if you remove the global _IO_stdin_used symbol, it triggers
compatibility code which crashes.

I've confirmed that if I add that symbol to the version-script in
connman, things work again.

Any idea how we raise the priority of this issue. There are no comments
on the bug despite it having been posted a while ago :(.

Cheers,

Richard
