 This probably means you need a newer binutils.
 I don't exactly what changed here, but I've seen this behavior too.
 Upgrading binutils lets gcc-generated code work again.
 
 Once you upgrade binutils you'll need to rebuild gcc from scratch.

 Oops. It was caused by mixing RPMS from different packagers - very unwise of 
 me! Please close this bug as invalid.
