consistent reproducible bug w/2.13

[Paul Theodoropoulos]

hello,

i've never posted a bugreport for gnu software before, so i apologize if i 
don't format this correctly. i have posted the details to a thread in 
comp.unix.solaris if you are interested.

in short:

sun sparc server 20, 2xSM71, 384M, mirrored boot disks, solaris 9 w/latest 
recommended patch cluster.

gcc 3.2
binutils 2.13

gcc built using binutils 2.13, and vice versa. in attempting to compile and 
install the latest release version of perl - 5.8.0, i could consistently 
compile the program, but upon running 'make test', it would segfault before 
completing any tests. after much pulling out of hair, i compiled and 
installed binutils 2.12, after which perl will compile and 'make test' runs 
flawlessly.

let me know if you need more data - truss output, stack trace of 
corefile,  etc etc etc

regards,
paul
