Fatal: core dump in binutils-2.12/ld

[Jens Rehsack]

Hi folks,

i tried to set up my aix box using gnu cc & gnu binutils. Compiling DDD results 
in
no g++-support. That looks suspiciously, I installed it right before. So I 
tried to
compile a simple "hello-world" program (cout << "Hello world!" << endl;), but 
the
g++ call fails with an 
  collect2: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault]

I do not know much about the internal program call in g++, but a
  gbd ld core gives me following:

(gdb) bt
#0  0x10032738 in bfd_xcoff_size_dynamic_sections (output_bfd=0x20017b98, 
    info=0x20009028, libpath=0x20023998 <Address 0x20023998 out of bounds>, 
    entry=0x0, file_align=554186380, maxstack=0, maxdata=804395112, gc=true, 
    modtype=12620, textro=true, export_defineds=false, 
    special_sections=0x2ff21910) at xcofflink.c:3203
#1  0x1001aeb8 in gldaixppc_before_allocation () at eaixppc.c:658
#2  0x10016c80 in ldemul_before_allocation () at ldemul.c:78
#3  0x1000de00 in lang_process () at ldlang.c:4144
#4  0x10011894 in main (argc=24, argv=0x2ff21a80) at ./ldmain.c:402
#5  0x100001cc in __start ()
(gdb) 

Recompiling binutils doesn't help, recompiling gcc fails during ld-dump.

Maybe someone who knows more 'bout the internals may fix that.

So long
Jens
