This is the second report I've seen of this bug on a
i386-pc-linux-gnulibc1 system.  Unfortunately I don't have access to
such a system.  Can anyone confirm the bug, and either fix it or make
a test case available?  Thanks.

Ian

upgrading my slackware linux libc 5.4.46, egcs 1.1.2, \f
to binutils 2.9.4.0.8 i've noted a bug
in shared libbfd.
infact ld give an error about linking.
for example.
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so(*ABS*+0xa040): multiple definition of `_DYNAMIC'
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so(.dynamic+0x0): first defined here
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so(*ABS*+0x9f5c): multiple definition of `_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_'
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so(.got.plt+0x0): first defined here
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

the library named can canghe, but the problem is ever the same.
unfortunally i've not the sources of previous version to see the canghes,
but i can say for sure that for me binutils 2.9.4.0.7 worked fine.
hope this helps.
