You haven't provided enough info for me to easily understand the
problem.

You mentioned that the crash happens inside ia64_size_dynamic_sections,
but you didn't say where or why.  I don't see why adding a call to
get_pltoff can prevent a crash in this function.

It would be useful if you could provide a testcase, so I can debug the
problem myself.  Or alternatively, provide a better description of what
is going wrong, and why the patch is needed.  I tried looking at the
code a bit, but I don't see any obvious reason why the change is needed.

You mentioned a line number where you inserted code, but line numbers
change often, so this isn't always useful.  A context diff is generally
much more useful.

You didn't mention what binutils version you are using.  If this is an
older binutils release, maybe it is already fixed in current sources.
