[Bug binutils/4035] New: BFD failure on solaris 10 with very large shared library

[laurent at oget dot net]

I have a very large (150+M) shared library built on solaris 10 (SunOS
atl-qa-sol10 5.10 Generic_118822-30 sun4u sparc SUNW,A70 ) with g++ 
(Reading specs from
/export/home/devUser/laurent/bin/../lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/3.4.3/specs
Configured with: /export/home/devUser/gcc-3.4.3/configure
--prefix=/export/home/devUser/laurent/
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.3) 

which breaks BFD both when using gdb and when using objdump -T.  The error
messages in both cases are:

thousands of lines of:
BFD: bin/libBloxArray.so: invalid string offset 561167 >= 80 for section 
`.shstrtab'
BFD: bin/libBloxArray.so: invalid string offset 6688090 >= 80 for section `'

BFD: BFD 2.17 assertion fail elf.c:1935

and finally
bin/libBloxArray.so:     file format elf64-sparc

BFD: BFD 2.17 internal error, aborting at elfcode.h line 190 in
bfd_elf64_swap_symbol_in
