Sorry this got dropped. That's what happens to mail sent to me
personally :(. I'm assuming it's ok forward this output to the list.

Is it correct that the statically linked version (notmuch) worked OK but
the dynamically linked version (notmuch-shared) failed? That's
consistent with what I observe on Debian, it's just that here the
dynamically linked version falls back on the canonicalize_file_name in
glibc, hiding the error.

For people on glibc platforms who want to play with this, 

set HAVE_CANONICALIZE_FILE_NAME=0 in Makefile.config, make clean, make

% nm  notmuch-shared | grep canonicalize
