[Bug ld/2254] New: ld -r seg faults relocating against a local object symbol

[plalonde at neoptica dot com]

If I add a local symbol to the symbol table, and then  a relocation relative to 
it ld seg faults when I try to 
link it.  If I change it to a global symbol all is well. (ld -r test.o seg 
faults as well)
Is is the expected behaviour (well, not the seg fault, but at least not 
handling relocation relative to a 
local symbol)?

My environment is fedora core 4 on AMD64.  I'm running binutils-2.15.94.0.2.2.  
The relocation type is 
R_X86_64_64.

The included ldbug.tgz has two files: success.o and fail.o.; ld -r success.o 
works, ld -r fail.o segfaults.  
They differ only in byte 397, success having the symbol "mystring" as global, 
fail as local.
