             Bug #: 13379
           Summary: BFD version 2.21.53.0.1-3.fc16 20110716 internal
                    error, aborting at merge.c line 877 in
                    _bfd_merged_section_offset
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.21
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: ld
        AssignedTo: address@hidden
        ReportedBy: address@hidden
    Classification: Unclassified


Compiling libpng on a new 64-core POWER7 (ppc64) series server, I ran into this
internal error during linkage:

address@hidden libpng]$ gcc -o ../../../lib/libpng15d.so.15.4.0
CMakeFiles/png15.dir/png.o CMakeFiles/png15.dir/pngerror.o

/usr/bin/ld: BFD version 2.21.53.0.1-3.fc16 20110716 internal error, aborting
at merge.c line 877 in _bfd_merged_section_offset

/usr/bin/ld: Please report this bug.

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

With -shared, I get a "final link failed: Memory exhausted" exception.  The
server has 64GB of memory with ample unused (and libpng is relatively tiny, of
course).  Other apps/libs seem to compile/link just fine.
