Cygwin crashes using own linker scripts

[Rotter Klaus]

Hello,

I have discovered a problem with cygwin. I use cygwin for embedded developmend.
The standard out-of-the-box cygwin seems to have a problem with linker scripts (and/or absolute linking). If I do the following (or use an absoulte linker script), cygwin crashes:

10:15:13://h/c-src> ld -oformat binary -Tbss 0x1000 -Tdata 0x2000 -Ttext 0x3000 test2.o -o test2.abs
[main] D:\users\rku65670\cygnus\CYGWIN~1\H-I586~1\bin\ld.exe 9008 (0) handle_exc
eptions: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
[main] ld 9008 (0) handle_exceptions: Dumping stack trace to ld.exe.core

ld --help says:

[...]
ld: supported targets: pe-i386 pei-i386 srec symbolsrec tekhex binary ihex
ld: supported emulations: i386pe
ld: emulation specific options:
[...]

I have recompiled cygwins B20 ld and also gcc 2.95 ld (just ./configure). The result 
is the same: crash.

Then I recompiled gcc 2.95 ld with "./configure --target=i386-linux-coff" and now it works.

ls-new --help says:
[...]
ld-new: supported targets: coff-i386 srec symbolsrec tekhex binary ihex
ld-new: supported emulations: i386coff
[...]

So, is there a bug or do I have missed something ?
