[Bug binutils/4781] New: binutils 2.17.50.0.7 and later eats up memory when calling gnujava wizards in OpenOffice

[andyradke at web dot de]

using binutils+rebuilt glibc from version 2.17.50.0.7 or newer and then calling
the Java based LetterWizard in OpenOffice writer eats up all memory within a few
seconds. also compiling Openoffice eats up the memory when it comes to compiling
 java stuff. last working version of binutils where this doesn't happen is
2.17.50.0.6.

Having binutils >=2.17.50.0.7 installed and i rollback the glibc package to a
version compiled against a working former binutils fixes the memory issue. so i
guess it's something the binutils link into the glibc pkg.

ArchLinux x86_64, gcc4.2.1rc1 + recent gcc-gcj trunk snapshot from 4.3 branch.

helpful so far.
