problems with binutils on powerpc64

[Andreas Jaeger]

Alan,

current binutils (2.14.90.0.2 from HJ) seem to have problems building
shared libraries, e.g. building of glibc fails with:

gcc -nostdlib -nostartfiles -o /usr/src/packages/BUILD/glibc-2.3/cc/iconv/iconv_prog  -Wl,-dynamic-linker=/lib6

Do you have any idea?
