Still no go with binutils-2.22.  make check fails with the same error
message.  Telnetting and issuing checkscript gives not a segfault but
some parser error.

Make sure /usr/bin/ld is a symlink to /usr/bin/ld.gold and not to ld.bfd
- which it should if you installed binutils-gold.

I can't check binutils-2.20 easily.  I did check linking with gold with
binutils-2.21, binutils-2.22 and binutils-2.22.52.0.4.  All fail.

Aye, that's my impression as well.  I'll try to find out more but I will
be on vacation for a few days so it might not be quick.  In the
meantime, if you make any headway, please let me know.  Thank you.
