Package: binutils Version: 2.19.91.20090910-1 Severity: normal I have observed that for recent versions of binutils, the amount of memory (RAM) ld uses while creating a statically linked binary for a program package I use (mainly Fortran90) is much higher than before (with binutils 2.18). It takes now around 1 GB, whereas before it was maybe some 100 MBs. Can this be considered a bug or is there any change in recent versions which could explain this behaviour?
