linker seg fault

[Will Wagner <will_wagner at carallon dot com>]

I am cross compiling to powerpc-eabi, building an eCos application. When 
trying to link, ld segfaults.

I have tried cross compiling from both cygwin-i686 and linux-i686 and 
get a seg fault on both platforms.

On cygwin I am using gcc 3.3.3 and ld 2.14. On linux I am using gcc 
3.3.6 and ld 2.16.1.

The error under cygwin is:

powerpc-eabi-g++ -v -msoft-float -mcpu=860 -nostdlib -Wl,--gc-sections 
-Wl,-static -Ttarget.ld -Lecos/lib -g -o bin/test

I have a reasonably simple test case (380kb) which I could post here if 
it is not too large. Alternatively can anyone suggests steps to take to 
discover why it is falling over.

Many thanks,
