i can't explain that since they share the same code to load the plugin

i don't get the point, the 4.2.x releases are bugfix releases there is
no risk in that only more security

may be you can use -export-dynamic instead of -Wl,-E since it's the
correct use in LDFLAGS but i doubt it'll fix the problem given the fact
xfprint4 works with -Wl,-E
