Package: binutils Version: 2.17cvs20070426-5 Severity: normal I was trying to link PIC object with non-PIC object to create dynamic library (.so). However after upgrading to -5 ld segfaults with following backtrace.
Downgrading binutils to -4 is a quick fix for this. Version -4 does not give segmentation fault in this situation. Here are commands: g++ -c -o a.o a.cpp g++ -c -fPIC -o b.o b.cpp g++ -shared -L. -o ab.so a.o b.o collect2: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault], core dumped make: *** [ab.so] Error 1 Here is a backtrace from core: (gdb) bt #0 0xb7e785cc in _bfd_elf_discard_section_eh_frame () from /usr/lib/libbfd-2.17.50.20070426.so #1 0xb7e675d0 in bfd_elf_discard_info () from /usr/lib/libbfd-2.17.50.20070426.so #2 0x08066504 in ??
