There are many problems with the binutils ld in version 2.15 under mips.

I would recommend either the CVS HEAD version or 2.17 with this patch 
applied:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2006-11/msg00059.html

Specifically, I think the problem you are seeing mignt be fixed by said 
patch.

I am running GCC-3.4.3/binutils-2.17 with the patch/glibc 2.3.3 with 
good results.
