[BUG] inconsistent behavior of ld -R

[Kristis Makris]

Hello Nick, H. J. Lu,

Thanks for your previous feedback. Unfortunately I've been able to
reproduce this with ld 2.14.

$ ld --version
GNU ld version 2.14.90.0.7 20031029 Debian GNU/Linux

$ gcc  -v --version
2.95.4

H. J. Lu: I'm sorry for not being able to provide a self-contained
test-case. I discovered this while trying to compile an alternate
implementation of the schedule() function for Linux 2.4.21. You will
need to have a /usr/src/linux-2.4.21 around with an already compiled
vmlinux image, since that's the one I tried to use. Other 2.4.x kernels
may work too.

The test case I had sent in the past for this is attached here again.

Regards,
Kristis Makris
