Hi Dean,

It is a bug.

>  I'm using binutils 2.14 targetting powerpc (elf):
> GNU ld version 2.16.91 20050610

Which version are you using, 2.14 or 2.16 ?

Not that it really matters - the bug has already been fixed.  Please upgrade to
the latest binutils release (2.19) or the current head of the development
sources and you will start to get error messages like this:

 section .text [00010000 -> 0001216b] overlaps section .bss [0000ffe0 -> 
0001007f]

Cheers
  Nick
