Some pre-2.25 binutils ld, called 2.24.90 on Debian Jessie and Ubuntu
Utopic, have a regression that appears to be quite easily triggered by
stap kernel modules. It was fixed before the final binutils 2.25. You
can see an example in stap PR14226, comment 13 and on:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14226#c13
ld: BFD (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.24.90.20141014 internal error,
aborting at ../../bfd/elf-eh-frame.c line 1727 in
_bfd_elf_write_section_eh_frame
ld: Please report this bug.
Debian has bug #769067 which says it's fixed in 2.24.90.20141111-2. But
AFAICT Jessie is still on 2.24.90.20141023-1, so I suspect it's still
broken. I don't know Debian procedure, but I guess this bug should be
copied to jessie, so the fix can be backported.

Ubuntu Utopic has 2.24.90.20141014-0ubuntu3.1, which was still found to
be broken today by "rrva" on irc. I was going to file a bug, but
launchpad said, "Bad bot, go away!" So... someone else who is not
thought to be a bot should probably follow up with them.
Thanks,
Josh
