Did you run "make clean" first to ensure that all of the object files 
were rebuilt ?

Which version of GCC are you using to build the binutils ?  Is it the 
version supplied with RHAS 2.1 ?  If not, then the problem should also 
be resolved by making sure that you link with the linker that 
accompanies the GCC toolchain that you are using.

If you are using the supplied system GCC then the problem is more 
complicated, because that compiler should not be producing debug 
information which the system linker does not understand.  Removing the 
"-g" switch on the command line when building the object files will 
help, but it does not explain the mismatch between the compiler and the 
linker.
