ld -r segfaults with MSVC -Zi input

The following applies to GNU ld version 2.12.90
20020706.

When doing ld -r with input files compiled using
Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version
12.00.8804 for 80x86 and -Zi (debuginfo), you get
segfaults.

To reproduce, compile foo.c:

void a(void) {}

with

cl -Zi -c foo.c

Then try

ld -r foo.obj -o bar.obj

strip, nm and objdump also have similar problems, but
this is the by far easiest one to duplicate...
