ld segfault on building gcc 3.3.2 on IRIX 6.2

ld segfault on building gcc 3.3.2 on IRIX 6.2

[Alexander Oberdörster]

Hi,

"make bootstrap" successfully builds g++ itself, but fails on linking 
libstdc++v3. ld crashes with a segmentation fault:

---
/kram/gcc-gnuld/gcc/xgcc [...] -o .libs/libstdc++.so.6.5

collect2: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault], core dumped
/usr/local/bin/ld: BFD 2.14 20030612 assertion fail elfxx-mips.c:7417
---

This is using GNU ld and GNU as. Using the SGI equivalents yields the 
same result: ld crashes during the final link stage. I can supply the 
complete command line of xgcc, if that is of any help.

The machine is an IP 22 running IRIX 6.2. I am using gcc 2.95.2 (from 
the SGI freeware package for IRIX 6.2).

Any help is appreciated.

It's a bug for ld to crash (rather than reporting an error, etc,) so
    report a bug to bug-binutils@gnu.org (I think).

This could also be caused by a bug in gcc, so see
    gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html .

A shot in the dark, but see
    http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#mips-sgi-irix6

There is one report of a successful build on irix 6.2:
