arm-elf-ld: BFD 2.17 internal error, aborting at ../../binutils-2.17/bfd/elflink.c line 6509 in elf_link_output_extsym

arm-elf-ld: Please report this bug.

make: *** [ex5.elf] Error 1

[end of transcript]

-The reference to __fastcode symbol is defined in the linker script: blinky.ld.
-It is declared after the .text section of ex5_start.o is collected.
-The make script is called from an exterm window

Ask me for any other details I might omitted.
