I am sure as installation of binutils-2.13.2.1 in the same place
fixes the problem.

I had a look at the particular section in the binutils-2.14 source:

elf-eh-frame.c:582ff
        goto free_no_table;
      if ((*reloc_symbol_deleted_p) (buf - ehbuf, cookie))
        {
          /* This is a FDE against a discarded section.  It should
         be deleted.  */
          new_size -= hdr.length + 4;
          sec_info->entry[sec_info->count].removed = 1;
        }

So the cookie->rel = rel; is gone, but the memset didn't appear.

In elflink.h:8692ff
      if (_bfd_elf_discard_section_eh_frame (abfd, info, eh,
                         elf_reloc_symbol_deleted_p,
                         &cookie))
        ret = TRUE;

      if (cookie.rels != NULL
          && elf_section_data (eh)->relocs != cookie.rels)
        free (cookie.rels);
    }

ret is set to true as in your patch but (eh)->relocs is not set.

I will try to reapply your patches to the binutils-2.14 sources.
