For me, it segfaults in the bootstrap test when it tries to run `ld
-r' (in all four bootstrap tests).  I haven't tried the previous
week's snapshot, it may a recent change.

I had to hack the .exp file to make the bootstrap test run.  The test
case skips this test if the path to the directory in which you are
building ld contains a symbolic link.
