Hi,
binutils-gold is crashing while compiling chromium[1]. This was originally found on Debian[2], but affects ubuntu[3] as well. Also, regular, non-gold ld will segfault with null pointer reference on the same linking commands. testcase:
# wget http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=10%3Bfilename=allcodecs.o.x... # unxz allcodecs.o.xz # sha1sum allcodecs.o f7c93a9132e4d02a651ade8db9f7b3f76918d236 allcodecs.o # ld.gold allcodecs.o ld.gold: internal error in value_from_output_section, at ../../gold/reloc.cc:1516
according to report, not reproducible inside qemu.
