ld asked me to report this.

[Diederik Hattingh]

Hallo.
I just tried to link my code, and got the following error.

/usr/bin/ld: BFD 2.15.94.0.2.2 20041220 (SuSE Linux) internal error, 
aborting at ../../bfd/cache.c line 495 in bfd_cache_lookup_worker

/usr/bin/ld: Please report this bug.

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status



As you can see it is a rather oldish version of ld, so I hope this has 
not been reported before.

This is a rather large software product, that is being compiled, so we 
have decided that (for the linux version) we will stick to gcc version 
3.4.3.

I had a strange problem with linking earlier this morning: ld said that 
my method call was undefined.  The argument list was two (templete) 
classes, a reference parameter, and another (non tamplete) class.

As can be deduced from the templetes, we are using c++.

I would rather not send any files -- closed source project.
