           Summary: LD from Binutils 2.23.1 crashes when building GDB
                    7.5.1
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.23
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2

        AssignedTo: address@hidden
        ReportedBy: address@hidden

Using a cross toolchain targeting x86_64-w64-mingw32, I am building a native
GDB. The following crash only occurs when --with-zlib=yes is passed to GDB's
configure line.

checking whether snprintf is declared... yes
checking whether vsnprintf is declared... yes
checking for library containing zlibVersion... *** Error in
