/usr/bin/ld: 2.14.90.0.7: bug in elf_i386_relocate_section?

[Fabian Wenzel]

Hi!

Currently I am experiencing some problems when linking an own application:

/usr/bin/ld: BFD 2.14.90.0.7 20031029 Debian GNU/Linux internal error, 
aborting at ../../bfd/elf32-i386.c line 2247 in elf_i386_relocate_section

I updated binutils to 2.15, but the error still remains. I traced it 
down to a set of three of my object files (.o) that cause the error as 
soon as two of them appear in the list of files to be linked together.

My program worked for a long time and I did not change any code in the 
relevant source for the object files before the bug appeared. I already 
searched the internet for some information, but the only messages I 
found were saying something like "okay, download the new release of 
package XY which did not compile; the bug has been fixed". So I don't 
know how to go anything further as I don't know whether it is a problem 
of my code (which worked fine for months) or a linker/compiler bug.

Could anybody please give me some hints?
