This does indeed appear to be a bug in the linker.  Are you able to 
create a *small* test case which reproduces this problem ?  With that we 
could investigate it and try to fix it.

Oh - one other thing you could try is to download the current binutils 
sources from the mainline of the CVS repository and build a new linker. 
 Several rather subtle and nasty linker bugs have been fixed recently 
and your problem might be one of those fixed bugs.

Cheers
