bfd internal error in ld

[Michael Rauch]

Hi, 

I've tried to install the recent version of binutils (2.10) on our 
computers, but ld said that it encountered an internal error and
wrote: "Please report this bug.". So here are the details:
(I'm following the order in the info manual)

$ ld --version
GNU ld 2.10
Copyright 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This program is free software; you may redistribute it under the terms of
the GNU General Public License.  This program has absolutely no warranty.
  Supported emulations:
   sparcnbsd

No changes to the sources (binutils-2.10.tar.gz), downloaded from a GNU
mirror, built with 
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/DIR/binutils-2.10; gmake; gmake install

Operating system: NetBSD 1.4.1 sparc (SparcClassic)

gcc version: 2.95.2

Input file: attachment #1 (simple hello_world program helloworld.c)

What I typed into the shell, and what I got back (I've used gcc -v, in case
it might help you): attachment #2 (gcc.out)

If you need any further information, please mail me. 


Michael
