small example

Hi.

I have received an internal error when linking an elf to a flat binary, that
contains a globally unique symbol (marked as "u" by nm).
It only happens if I try to produce a flat binary, and works normally when the
result is an elf file.

The symbol is a static variable in a template class (I think it would be the
same if the template is a function, but I haven't tried it...)

I have attached a simple example source file that demonstrates the bug.
You can compile it with the following commands:
g++ -c main.cpp -o main.o
ld main.o --oformat binary -o main.bin -e main

The last command results in:
'ld: BFD (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.28 internal error, aborting at
../../bfd/linker.c:2162 in _bfd_generic_link_output_symbols

ld: Please report this bug.'

The problem is related to the symbol _ZN3fooILi4EE3barE (foo<4>::bar).
