Hi Niki,

  This was a nasty one.  In the end I tracked the problem down to the configure
script in the binutils directory which was behaving differently from the
configure script in the bfd directory, with the result that the two sets of
sources disagreed on the size of files that were being supported.  Most notably
this meant that the stat structure was a different size when being used by the
bfd library to when it was being used by the binutils programs.

  Please try out the uploaded patch and see if the problems are solved for you.
 (I have included a patch to the binutils/configure file so that you do not have
to run autoconf yourself).

Cheers
  Nick
