	This turned out to be an ld version problem.  (Insert red
face).  Since this sort of thing occurs all too often, maybe there
should be a flag for version numbers, i.e. "ld -requires 1.36.1" which
will give an error you aren't running a new enough ld.  Since GNU ld
and gas are now required for g++, it should be easy to enforce this.
This would guarantee running the proper software, and cut down on
"bug" reports such as mine.
