A simple test case would really help.  Ideally we would like:

  * Small C or assembler source file or files that can be compiled or
    assembled to produce the minimum necessary object files.

  * The command line used to compile or assemble these files.

  * The command line used to link the object files and that causes the
    memory corruption.  Ideally without any dependencies on libraries,
    especially not non-standard ones.  (ie not libc, libm, libgcc).

If putting this together is too difficult or the results are too big
to post to a mailing list, you could make the object files available
for download via ftp/http and we could grab them that way.

Cheers
