Subject: another binutils-2.8.1 bug?

  Host: i386-linux
Target: m68k-linux
  Tool: binutils-2.8.1 ld using m68k-elf

I seem to have found a bug in binutils-2.8.1. The linker fails to find
a reference to "putpacket()" even though it is contained in one of the
object files.

Here's the output:

m68k-linux-ld -m m68kelf -T /usr/src/linux-sun3-2.1.72/arch/m68k/vmlinux-sun3.lds

I have uploaded the files necessary to replicate this problem to:
