[Bug ld/3449] New: !samegp reloc against symbol without .prologue on alpha with latest - 2.17.50.0.6

[rezso at rdsor dot ro]

It gives "!samegp reloc against symbol without .prologue", but using 2.16 
binutils not.

Here is sample program:
----------------//////////////--------
long longval () { return (long) (sizeof (int)); }
unsigned long ulongval () { return (long) (sizeof (int)); }
int main ()
{
  long i = longval ();
  return 0;
}
----------------////////----------------------

# rpm -q gcc binutils glibc

using older binutils 2.16 works.
