[Bug ld/2944] New: Linking libstdc++ (GCC4.1.1) : internal error, aborting at ../../bfd/elf32-i386.c

[thomas dot lavergne at jrc dot it]

I just got an ld internal error while compiling gcc-4.1.1 (only c, fortran and
c++) on a Linux 2.6 (RHEL4) PC:
[:prompt:] gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.4.5 20051201 (Red Hat 3.4.5-2)
[:prompt:] ld --version
GNU ld version 2.15.92.0.2 20040927

Last week, I was able to build the very same GCC4.1.1 (common downloaded
archive), on a very similar RHEL4 system (exactly the same ld) but using
gcc3.4.4 [(GCC) 3.4.4 20050721 (Red Hat 3.4.4-2)] as default compiler.

Is it a known bug? I am anyway advised to move to a newer version of ld? Which 
one?

At link time for libstdc++ I get:
