[Bug gold/11247] New: Assert failure in arm.cc

[ahartmetz at gmail dot com]

I'm using gold to speed up linking on my Beagleboard. Compile jobs run on a
different machine but the linker has to run locally so its speed is important.
When compiling the Qt toolkit (version 4.6.1 with a few patches, shouldn't
matter) ld aborts with an assert failure during the linking of QtWebKit, which
is linked from several hundred object files and requires a lot memory to link.
The compiler used is CodeSourcery's 2009q3-68 version (I've made Icecream cross
compile packages from the binary distribution...)
The error message is:
/usr/bin/ld: internal error in scan_sections_for_stubs, at arm.cc:5656

The first few lines of the latest ChangeLog entry are:
2010-02-03  Doug Kwan  <address@hidden>

        * arm-reloc-property.cc
        (Arm_reloc_property_table::reloc_name_in_error_message): New method
        definition.

configure flags are:
--enable-target=arm

The Linux distribution is Ubuntu 9.10 for ARM.
(I also get two rather easily fixable compilation errors on my system, a
missing #include and an object file that is passed to gcc twice during link.)
