[Bug ld/2434] New: ld --as-needed causes BFD internal error

[ldv at altlinux dot org]

ld --as-needed sometimes fails with internal error.  I've succeeded to construct
a small testcase described below.

$ cat sample.cc 
extern void foo(void);
void my() { foo(); }

$ g++ -Wl,--no-as-needed -shared -Wall -fPIC sample.cc -lsupc++; echo rc=$?
rc=0

$ g++ -Wl,--as-needed -shared -Wall -fPIC sample.cc -lsupc++; echo rc=$?
