Bug in GNU ld at elf_i386_copy_indirect_symbol with gcc-3.3

[Martin Aumueller]

Hello,

ld asked me to report this bug.
I try to link a C++ application compiled in part with gcc-3.3.
But ld fails to do so because of an internal error.

I'm using Redhat 8.0 with glibc updated to 2.3.2-4.80.6.
I compiled gcc-3.3 myself and installed it to /usr
(overwriting my old gcc).

On one computer, this happens:
GNU ld version 2.13.90.0.2 20020802:
usr/bin/ld: BFD 2.13.90.0.2 20020802 internal error, aborting at elf32-i386.c 
line 786 in elf_i386_copy_indirect_symbol

On another, where I overwrote the old binutils:
GNU ld version 2.14.90.0.2 20030515:
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: 
BFD 2.14.90.0.2 20030515 internal error, aborting at elf32-i386.c line 809 in 
elf_i386_copy_indirect_symbol

I didn't have this problem with gcc-3.2-7 from Redhat 8.0.

If I can supply any additional information, please let me know.

Thank you,
Martin
