[Bug ld/7023] New: ld is unable to link 32 bit libffi.so on gcc mainline: Memory exhausted

[ro at TechFak dot Uni-Bielefeld dot DE]

I just tried to bootstrap current gcc mainline on Solaris 11/SPARC, but the
bootstrap failed linking the 32-bit libffi.so.  This happens both with ld 2.19
and current CVS mainline:

I haven't yet tracked this down further, but I'm pretty sure I could bootstrap
gcc with older GNU ld versions in the past, so this is most likely a regression.

I tried to look for unusually large allocations via malloc with apptrace and
truss -u, but found nothing of this sort.
