a blatant bug:

[Michael M]

Hi. I'm new here.
I only recently updated my binutils to 2.10, and since then I've been 
experiencing errors. I assumed that it was due to the updated linker, so 
I recompiled most of my programs. The error was still there (for 
instance, I could compile GCC 2.95.2, but a 'make install' failed). As a 
last resort I tried re-installing binutils 2.9 from RPM, but the error 
did not go away.
This is the error message it leaves:

BUG IN DYNAMIC LINKER ld.so: dynamic-link.h: 57: elf_get_dynamic_info: 
Assertion `! "bad dynamic tag"' failed!

Thanks.

Grin.  It shows.  No info on system details like operating system and
cpu. :-)  I'm guessing linux and x86.

This is an error from the dynamic linker, part of glibc.  Have you by
any chance recompiled and installed glibc?  You might need to re-install a
precompiled version from a distribution cd-rom.

If this error shows up it means the binary is corrupted.  It is no
actual bug in ld.so.
