Re: ld Bug report: BFD internal error

Unfortunately I do not have an easy way to reproduce this problem.

One thing you could try is downloading a snapshot of the latest
binutils sources and seeing if this fixes your problem.  You can get
the snapshots from:

        ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/binutils/snapshots

The abort is triggered because the linker is encountering a reloc that
it cannot handle.  IF you can run the linker inside GDB you could find
out which file contains this reloc (print input_bfd->filename).  You
could then use OBJDUMP to look at this and see if it is corrupt or if
it contains broken relocs.
