possible binutils bug on ia64

[Randolph Chung]

With the latest binutils (BFD version 020304 20020304O), glibc (2.2.5) doesn't
build on ia64. I'm not sure if this is really a binutils bug or a glibc
bug, but older binutils work...

The error from glibc is:
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: ../sysdeps/ia64/dl-machine.h: 582:
elf_machine_rela: Assertion `! "unexpected dynamic reloc format"' failed!

The problem seems to be that recent binutils generates a lot of
R_IA64_NONE entries in .rela.got that is confusing the loader.

Compiled with above binutils:
pippin[22:49] elf% readelf -a ./ld.so | grep -c IA64_NONE              
27

Compiled with older binutils:
pippin[22:49] elf% readelf -a /lib/ld-linux-ia64.so.2  | grep -c IA64_NONE
0

Anyone else seeing this and/or have a fix?
