[Bug ld/9934] New: arm gnueabi linker often fails with FPE error while linking shared libs

[vapier at gentoo dot org]

while building gcc's shared libs, we end up with this error:
collect2: ld terminated with signal 8 [Floating point exception]

i'm attaching a tarball of the objects from glibc/gcc which are used to trigger
this bug.  to reproduce, hopefully you should be able to extract and just run
`./doit.sh` (might have to change the linker invoked).

Raúl Porcel traced this back to a change between 2.18.50.0.4 and 2.18.50.0.5. 
specifically, this commit seems to be the problem:

        ld/
        * emultempl/armelf.em (OPTION_FIX_V4BX_INTERWORKING): Define.
        (PARSE_AND_LIST_LONGOPTS): Add fix-v4bx-interworking.
        (PARSE_AND_LIST_OPTIONS): Ditto.
        (PARSE_AND_LIST_ARGS_CASES): Handle OPTION_FIX_V4BX_INTERWORKING.
        * emulparams/armelf.sh (OTHER_TEXT_SECTIONS): Add .v4_bx.
        * emulparams/armelf_linux.sh (OTHER_TEXT_SECTIONS): Ditto.
        * emulparams/armnto.sh (OTHER_TEXT_SECTIONS): Ditto.
        * ld.texinfo: Document --fix-v4bx-interworking.
