I have updated the patch. But the problem still is as I've said. The current ld
cvs head release does not work !!
I have build a simple lib and an app (without my patches) and the result is an
undefined, either for functions or for auto-imported data.  Test case is
appended.
Can anybody tell me which cvs version is the last stable ? I have tried to
checkout binutils with date 2001/12/31, but got compiling errors.
