Yeah? Okay, we just need to persuade your ld to accept the linkable 
object format then...

I doubt if it'll help, but you probably want to anyway. The truth is 
that a lot of bugs crept in with the 2.x series. We're up to 2.10rc1 - 
all the "known" bugs have been fixed... Might as well try out the latest 
"snapshot"...

Does "objdump -i" give any hints what you'd need to tell ld? (or gcc?)
