make check fails on i686-linux-gnu

[Andreas Jaeger]

With CVS mainline I see these failures on i686-linux-gnu with GCC 3.2: 

Version /builds/sourceware-src/build-binutils-ln/binutils/objcopy 20020918

Looking at the log file I see:

Readelf and objdump looks sane to me:

$ readelf -s tmpdir/bintest.o 

Symbol table '.symtab' contains 10 entries:
   Num:    Value  Size Type    Bind   Vis      Ndx Name
     0: 00000000     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT  UND

$ objdump -dr tmpdir/bintest.o

What's going on here?
