Assertion fault in binutils-2.23.51.0.5/bfd/elf-strtab.c:247

[Maciej Piechotka]

Hi,

I get assertion faults in unstable version of binutils 2.23.51.0.5
during building of glog-0.3.2 on Gentoo (both inside and outside portage
environment) and virtualbox-4.2.4.

Backtrace from exit during glog linking:
