[Bug ld/10406] New: ld terminated with signal 11 [segmentation fault]

[olof at baah dot se]

Background
Trying to use GCC/binutils to build an app for an embedded system (no kernel, 
just an image written to flash). This app is rather large (1300+ object files) 
and was initially written for DIAB 5.3. It is a commercial application so I 
can't send any object files.

I compiled gcc 4.4.0 and binutils 2.19.1 for target=powerpc-elf, build and host 
i386-linux gnu. Attached are files with version output etc for gcc and ld.

I know a little of when in the process the error occurs. It is after 
all "unresolved symbols.." has been fix (I've had several during the porting 
process since I had to rewrite some assembler since DIAB and gas doesn't agree 
on the syntax). Also I know that it is after SDA21 relocations has been 
performed. The name of an output section containing data addressed with SDA21 
relocation was misspelled and ld complained before I fixed it.

I deplore that I am unable to provide an example. Perhaps I could run the 
debugger to pin the location down with some instructions from you guys.
