Hi,
This problem might have more to do with gcc than with binutils. I recall
having similar problems some while back when I was compiling with a gcc
which had been built against the old binutils, even though I was using
newer binutils to compile glibc. In my case, recompiling gcc (against
the new binutils) solved the problem.
I'm not sure about this so please take this as a suggestion for
something to look at if nothing else seems to make sense.
regards,
Davin
