Have you tried using the latest sources from the mainline of the binutils CVS 
binutils repository ?  If not then I would strongly urge you to do so.  I 
suspect that this bug has already been fixed there.

Assuming that the mainline version of the assembler and linker do not fix this 
problem, then please could you put together a small test case that reproduces 
the problem and post it here ?
