ld bfd assertion fail elf32-i386.c:636

[Cathy Reinhart]

Hello,


We are encountering the following error when attempting to link our
application:

  "/usr/bin/ld: bfd assertion fail elf32-i386.c:633"

Corresponding source code in elf32-i386.c:

 BFD_ASSERT (strncmp (name, ".rel", 4) == 0
                              && strcmp (bfd_get_section_name (abfd,
sec),

We are using:

: OS  =  RedHat Linux 6.1    2.2.12-20
: c++ compiler =  g++  2.95.2
: Linker:
: GNU ld 2.9.5

We downloaded the binutils release (2.10.1) and we still encounter an
assertion error, now at a different
line:

  "/a/murugan/linker/ld: bfd assertion fail elf32-i386.c:636"

Are you familiar with this error?  Is there a patch available, as we
need a fix as quickly as possible...


Thank you,
