There is a fundamental problem in ld:

1. Different formats, ELF, COFF, XCOFF, ... have
different linker hash table and its entry.
2. It works as long as input and output have the 
same format.
3. When input format != output format, output linker
hash table and its entry have different formats from
the ones used by input.  We can't use output linker
hash table on input in this case.

We have been lucky most of time.  This bug isn't one of
them.
