Linking Mono with gold

[Seo Sanghyeon <tinuviel at sparcs dot kaist dot ac dot kr>]

I installed gold from a Debian package,
http://packages.debian.org/experimental/binutils-gold
and I am quite happy with it so far.

However, when I compile Mono, I get:

gcc -I../.. -I../../libgc/include -pthread -I/usr/include/glib-2.0
-I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -g -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing
-Wdeclaration-after-statement -g -Wall -Wunused -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wmissing-declarations -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wnested-externs -Wpointer-arith -Wno-cast-qual -Wcast-align
-Wwrite-strings -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs
-Wl,-version-script=./ldscript.mono -Wl,--export-dynamic -o mono main.o
-pthread -Wl,--export-dynamic  ./.libs/libmono-static.a
/usr/lib/libgthread-2.0.so /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so -lrt -ldl -lpthread
-lm
/usr/bin/ld: internal error in script_register_vers_node, at
../../gold/script.cc:2210

The content of ldscript.mono is:

{
      global: 
              mono_*;
              GC_push_all_stack;
              GC_start_blocking;
              GC_end_blocking;
              gc_thread_vtable;
      local:
              *;
};

Looking at gold source from CVS I found:

yyscript.y:843

vers_node:
          '{' vers_tag '}' ';'
            {
              script_register_vers_node (closure, NULL, 0, $2, NULL);
            }

script.cc:2203

script_register_vers_node(void*,
                          const char* tag,
                          int taglen,
                          struct Version_tree *tree,
                          struct Version_dependency_list *deps)
{
  gold_assert(tree != NULL);
  gold_assert(tag != NULL);
  tree->dependencies = deps;
  tree->tag = std::string(tag, taglen);
}

If yyscript.y is calling script_register_vers_node with tag NULL, why is
script_register_vers_node asserting tag != NULL?
