Segmentation Fault using cross architecture ld command

Hi all.

I'm not familiar enough with the ld code to take this any further.  I'm
running the 2.18 binutils on a x86 Linux for an eCos PPC target.  I can
narrow down the possible libraries / archives that MAY be involved but
not enough for a definitive test case.  I've been tweeking the load
script, I've recompiled and rebuilt all of our libraries and archives
and modules but can not get passed this problem.

As it sits right now, I'm not able to complete the upgrade to binutils
2.18 and gcc 4.3 until this seg fault can be fixed / circumvented.  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Should I submit it as a bug?  Is
there something I can do to get around this.

Thanks

John Morrison
