Michael opened PR ld/21964:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-binutils/2017-08/msg00195.html

which is exactly the same issue.  PR ld/21964 is fixed with testcases.
Apparently, PR ld/21964 testcases in binutils source tree don't cover
his use case since he still has problems.  I'd like to know what use cases
which PR ld/21964 testcases don't cover.
