           Summary: elf-strtab.c assetion fail
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.24
            Status: NEW

I'm trying to compile Firefox-3.0-19 on Ubuntu Linux 14.04 running as guest in
host VirtualBox 4.1.12-dfsg-2ubuntu0.2. At the linking step of component
libxul.so I get this:

It seems there is nothing wrong with `FT_Get_Sfnt_Table' since it is present in
libfreetype.so and by adding -Wl,-t I get notified about its presence:

attempt to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfreetype.so succeeded
-lfreetype (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfreetype.so)

First I used 2 GB RAM for compilation and now I changed to have 4 GB. But the
problem still occurs.

Thank you in advance for any help, hint, or confirming that this is a bug in
ld.
