That's weird. Looking in the ld user manual I see that -O only matters to ld if 
the value is non-zero. So there's no point in doing -O9. Plus if you have your 
optimization flag that you are using for the compile command line, just use the 
same flag on the link command line. Also -relax is not listed in the ld user 
manual, it should be --relax, with two dashes.

If the problem still exists after changing those (and I think it probably will 
be), then the problem is not necessarily in your makefile, but something in 
your application that is triggering it. Does ld provide any kind of error 
output when it "dies"? If so, can you post it?
