Package: binutils-gold
Version: 2.23.52.20130620-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

binutils-gold does not correctly link qemu linux-user targets. 

While the link stage does not show any problems, the resulting binaries crash 
with a segmentation fault. Using gnu ld instead of ld.gold fixes the issue. 

   * What led up to the situation?
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?

To reproduce:
        with gnu.ld installed:
        % apt-get source qemu
        % cd qemu-*
        % ./configure --target-list=x86_64-linux-user
        % make
        % ./x86_64-linux-user/qemu-x86_64 -version
        -> qemu-x86_64 version 1.5, Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard
        
        apt-get install binutils-gold
        % rm ./x86_64-linux-user/qemu-x64_64
        % make
        % ./x86_64-linux-user/qemu-x86_64 -version
        -> Segmentation fault

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
        I would not expect ld.gold to link a binary that Segfaults
