Hi Benjamin,

Is there any chance that you could provide a compressed tarball of
the object files and libraries involved in this command line ?
Without a test case to reproduce the problem, solving it is going
to be really hard.

I suspect that the problem is contained within some PE specific
code in the linker, as otherwise we would have seen this issue
reported elsewhere as well.  My guess is that an archive is being
scanned repeatedly for some reason.  If you are able to run the
linker inside a debugger you could put a break point on open()
or bfd_openr() and find out where the kajority of the calls are
coming from.

Cheers
  Nick
