Bug rpt: ld

[Andrew Kurn]

Dear folk,

This reports a crash of ld, the linker.  I was installing ncurses version
5.4 and cross-compiling.  I was not sufficiently careful to separate
the ARM libraries from the 386 libraries, so I am not surprised that
the linker got upset.

Below is a summary.  Attached is the whole make output.

Good luck,
Andrew
