Hadn't the Andreas reply available here, but he was right, the '2.16.91' 
branch seems to
be broken, for instance the "icecream" one at the OpenSuse 10.0 archives :

kai@Dell:/opt/host-SuSE10.1_ia64/lib> 
/usr/local/ia64-suse-linux10.1/bin/ld -V
GNU ld version 2.16.91.0.5 20051219 (SUSE Linux)
  Supported emulations:
   elf64_ia64

My self-made one (..0.7) behaved similarly. But an earlier '2.14.90.0.7' 
binutils for RHL7.2/ia64
accepted the format....
