[Bug ld/6844] New: Segmentation Fault using cross architecture ld command

[jmorrison at printronix dot com]

We are upgrading our cross-compiler from GCC 2.95.2, binutils 2.10.1 to GCC 
4.2.0, binutils 2.17.  Cross compiling from Linux i686 to PowerPC.  What we 
create is a statically built firmware from 1000+ modules. This "firmware" gets 
downloaded into flash on the devices we build.

We get a segmentation fault while trying to do the final "link" of our printer 
firmware, os and support libraries.  As you can guess, this all used to work 
fine in the previous versions (GCC and binutils).

I'm going to try and attach console listings to this bug report.  If I can't, 
you'll see them here.

Thanks
John Morrison
