Sorry, I missed noticing that you said this before.

No, there's no easy way to debug this.  I'd fire up gdb and see if we
get to ldwrite.  I'm guessing that the problem is in bfd_final_link,
so that would mean tracing through _bfd_coff_final_link.  Would you
mind taking a look?  If that doesn't sound easy, could you please tar
and gzip the set of objects and libraries involved in the link and
send them to me.
