The linker bug was meanwhile fixed.  Unfortunately I didn't save any of the
broken executables - the referenced bug says libstdc++ tests were broken,
but as far as I remember every executable compiled with -g -flto
-Wl,--gc-sections was broken due to stripped relocations.  It might be possible
to dig out an old BFD ld and create an affected executable that way (plus old
gdb
to check if the segfault was reproducible).

Not sure if worth - feel free to close the bug instead.
