If the NDA does not allow you to supply a test file, then there is not 
much that we will able to do.  One thing you could try though is to run 
"readelf -a -w libcmodel.so" and see if readelf reports any errors or 
problems in the file.  (I am assuming that the file is somehow not quite 
conformant to the ELF standard and this is why it is not being recognised).

Is the supplier of the file Cisco by any chance ?  We had another bug 
report recently about binutils not being able to handle some files made 
by Cisco and a patch was developed to solve the problem.

Cheers
   Nick
