[Bug ld/310] New: error while compiling mozilla 1.7.x (H.J. Lu's binutils for Linux)

[j at bitron dot ch]

I'm getting a strange error when trying to build mozilla 1.7 with H.J. Lu's
binutils 2.15.91.0.2 for Linux.

Extract from the build log:

System Info:
P4-2.53
Linux 2.6.8-rc2
tried once with glibc 20040719 and once with 20040806 => no difference
gcc 3.3.4
binutils 2.15.91.0.2

As soon as I replaced the installed binutils with binutils 2.15.91.0.1, the
problem disappeared.

I can provide further info about the system / the build if needed.
