[Bug binutils/4701] New: binutils generates invalid klibc-based binary on Linux x86_64

[j at bitron dot ch]

Trying to run the umount binary linked to the shared klibc library on Linux
x86_64 results in an immediate kill by SIGKILL. I've traced the problem back to
the commit on 2007-05-30 13:38:50 UTC, src/bfd/elf.c r1.389 => r.1390, see
http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/bfd/elf.c.diff?r1=1.389&r2=1.390&cvsroot=src&f=h
for the change. Applying the reverse patch on top of the Linux binutils
2.17.50.0.17 fixes the issue.

This has been tested with klibc 1.5 and gcc 4.2-20070620 on Linux 2.6.21.5

The Linux binutils 2.17.50.0.17 is affected by this problem, 2.17.50.0.16 was 
ok.
