Re: [Bug binutils/694] assertion failure while trying to link qemu 0.6.1

Please read the section in the linker manual about this error message:

  When producing an ELF output file, if the linker script uses the
  SIZEOF_HEADERS builtin function, the linker must compute the
  number of program headers before it has determined all the section
  addresses and sizes.  If the linker later discovers that it needs
  additional program headers, it will report an error "not enough
  room for program headers".  To avoid this error, you must avoid using
  the SIZEOF_HEADERS function, or you must rework your linker
  script to avoid forcing the linker to use additional program headers,
  or you must define the program headers yourself using the PHDRS
  command.

You will need to modify your linker script as suggested above.

Cheers
  Nick
