Problem with binutils-2.13.90.0.4 on linux-alpha

[Andrey Slepuhin]

Hi,
I'm using binutils-2.13.90.0.4 from HJL with gcc-3.0.4 on linux-alpha.
When linking C++ application with gcc option -static-libgcc (I'm really
need this; application doesn't use exception handling) ld catches
segmentation fault. Below follows GDB outpout:

After some further debugging I found that segmentation fault occurs when
processing section .rela.sdata.__gthread_active_ptr. It seems to me that a bug
somehow related to declaration
  static void *__gthread_active_ptr = (void *) &pthread_create;
in gcc sources.

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,
Andrey.
