OK, got your file.  It is as you suspect almost certainly a binutils
issue.  I would need access to a machine with these binutils to make
sure and propose a fix.  Has it been officially released yet?  Debian
doesn't have it.

In the meantime, there is a high likelihood that you can work around
the difficulty  by configuring your gcl with --disable-statsysbfd
--enable-locbfd, or --disable-statsysbfd --enable-custreloc on i386
and sparc only.  GCL carries around its own copy of binutils for
convenience.   Tim can show you how to edit the Makefile.pamplets to
try this out.  Just search for --enable in lsp/Makefile.pamphlet,
choose the correct stanza, and edit.

Take care,
