gnu-ld: looping in map_segments

[John Breitenbach]

Hi,
  We began getting this message after a few supposedly benign changes to 
our big app (800+- modules + libraries) the other day.  This is using 
GNU ld version 2.17 20061206 build for ppc-linux-elf hostest on x86 
Linux (RHEL4)

I'll try to get the latest and greatest version this evening to see if 
the problem goes away.  I'll also work on reverting changes to a few C 
files to see what caused the error message to begin showing up.

But even if the latest version works, upgrading is painful, and I'd like 
to know what the problem is in hopes that a linker script change could 
avoid this problem.

Thanks,
John Breitenbach
