Description of problem:
ld from binutils-2.14.90.0.5-5 fails with segfault while building
transcode 0.6.9 using "-s" compiler option.
The line is:

gcc -D_REENTRANT -funroll-loops -ffast-math -Wall
-DMOD_PATH=\"/usr/local/lib/transcode\" -s -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer
-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -o tcextract
tcextract.o extract_ac3.o extract_mpeg2.o extract_pcm.o extract_yuv.o
extract_rgb.o extract_dv.o ioaux.o extract_mp3.o scan_dv.o aux_pes.o
extract_ogm.o  -L/usr/src/transcode-0.6.9/libac3 -lac3_tc
-L/usr/src/transcode-0.6.9/libmpeg2 -lmpeg2cvs -L/usr/src/transcode-0.6.9/libvo
-lvout -L/usr/src/transcode-0.6.9/avilib -lavi -L/usr/lib /usr/lib/libdv.so -lm
-lpthread -ldl /usr/lib/libglib.so -ldl -lm -logg -lm -lvorbis -lm -lm -lpthread
-ldl

The result is:

collect2: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault]

If "-s" is removed, the operation ends properly.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
binutils-2.14.90.0.5-5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install transcode 0.6.9
2. export CFLAGS="-s"; export CXXFLAGS="-s"
3. ./configure
4. make

Actual Results:  ld will crash with segfault while trying to link some plugin.

Expected Results:  ld should link properly all the objects. I suppose.

Additional info:

Sometimes the problem is not present if some object file is
removed, but, of course, then there are unresolved symbols.
