Gee. That looks like a bug in your linker, ld. If that is
also GNU, you should report it. According to the GNU ld info
page:

Have you found a bug?
=====================

If you are not sure whether you have found a bug, here
are some
guidelines:

* If the linker gets a fatal signal, for any input
whatever, that is
a `ld' bug. Reliable linkers never crash.

...

How to report bugs
==================

A number of companies and individuals offer support for
GNU
products. If you obtained `ld' from a support organization,
we
recommend you contact that organization first.

You can find contact information for many support
companies and
individuals in the file `etc/SERVICE' in the GNU Emacs
distribution.

In any event, we also recommend that you send bug reports
for `ld'
to `bug-gnu-utils(at)gnu(dot)org'.

Hope that helps.
