This looks like a linker bug.
Can you create a small testcase which reproduces this problem and which
you can post to this list ?
(I assume that you are running that latest version of the linker, ie
version 2.16 or newer. If not they please try upgrading first, to see
if that resolves the problem).
Cheers
Nick
