ld segfaults with long link lines

[Stefan Jones]

update:

After extensive testing of about 10 system I have narrowed down the
problem (not by much) to the glibc-2.3.1 to glibc-2.3.2 upgrade.

This affects gentoo and redhat phoebe 3.

Using gcc-3.2.2 with redhat patches (or without) and rpm gcc-3.2.1-7
binutils-2.13.90.0.18 from source and rpm binutils-2.13.90.0.18-6

And the package sparking the problem:

with glibc-2.3.1 from source ld works fine.

glibc-2.3.2 from source and glibc-2.3.1-46 from redhat phoebe 3 causes
ld to segfault as described before.

redhat phoebe 3 and my gentoo systems both produce the same gdb stack
trace on segfault.

Any more information needed?

Hope this helps.

Stefan
