I missed seeing this message first time around. binutils (ie. as, ld, ar, nm, objdump, strip, ranlib etc.) bugs should generally be reported to the address you find by doing `ld --help'. In the case of linux 2.9.5 series binutils which are actually pre-release versions, you can report these sorts of errors to binutils@@sourceware.cygnus.com.
To track down this particular ld problem, can you send me (or make available via ftp), all the .o and .a files mentioned on the above command line, in a .tar.gz archive. **Don't send the resulting huge mail message to linux-kernel**
Oh yeah, sources for the very latest binutils can be found by reading http://sourceware.cygnus.com/binutils/ You might like to see whether some of the more recent bug-fixes to binutils have cured your ld problem, but I suspect this bug will still be there.
