"unsupported reloc" errors with binutils-2.11.92.0.5 and g++-2.96 on ia64

[Randolph Chung]

With binutils-2.11.92.0.5 and g++-2.96 we are seeing quite a lot of linker errors 
in different c++ applications similar to this:

compiler/AssignStmt.o(.vector<Expr *, allocator<Expr *> >::IA_64.unwind_info.gnu.linkonce.t._M_insert_aux(Expr **, Expr *const &)+0x10): unsupported reloc

i tried to track this down some more.. it's failing in
elfNN_ia64_relocate_section in handling the r_type == R_IA64_SEGREL64LSB
case. The check "if (bfd_is_abs_section (sym_sec->output_section))" is
failing.

I don't know what this means, but hope someone else does... 

The last binutils i had on my system was 2.11.90.0.31 and that worked
ok...  We also tried gcc-3.0.2 (20010922 cvs snapshot) and that worked 
in the cases we tried as well.

Any ideas?

please cc me on replies. thanks!
