If that is hitting, you may be seeing the bug I fixed here:

http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2006-11/msg00059.html

...but your version appears to be from after that commit.


If neither of these suggestions help, I think you should upgrade to binutils 2.18 and if that is still failing, rebuild binutils with CFLAGS=-g and run ld in the debugger and find out which of the 'Bad values' is actually hitting.
