ld change between binutils 2.11 and 2.12

[Donald Zoch]

Could anyone tell me what changed in ld from binutils 2.11 to 2.12
to cause errors like this when linking?   I'm using gcc 2.95.3.  
The link works when ld from binutils 2.11 is in my path, but fails
with the error messages below when ld from binutils 2.12 is in
my path.   Thanks.
