I combined the current gcc and binutils mainlines into a combined gcc + binutils source tree. When I tried to bootstrap it on Linux/ia32 and Linux/Intel64 with shared library enabled, it went to an infinite loop when as or ld from stage 2 was used. The problem is ld-new tries to use itself to relink itself when it is invoked first time. How should gcc and libtool handle it properly? I think collect-ld should be modified.
