Found a couple hits on that one, e.g.
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-hacker/2002-09/msg00113.html and followups
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2003-01/msg00030.html and followups

What binutils are you using?  One of the messages suggested
that binutils-2.13.90.0.2 needed a "bfd reference counting" patch
to fix this.  I think http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/devel/binutils/binutils-2.14.90.0.7.tar.bz2
is the latest, if you're using something older, give it a shot...

When people ask me what I do now that I work for Google, I tell them
I'm the guy who looks up stuff when people click 'search' :-)
