Fixed the problem by building binutils-2.12.1 using the instructions in armtoolchain.README found on IXA CD 2. Fixed the problem. If anyone wants a reference on what the issue is, may I suggest: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-11/msg00756.html David Mantre's instructions are good, but I need C++ support, so only recompiling ld seems like the best solution.

I've been moving some C++ code over to the ARM lately and have run into the following error upon linking a particular program with a library I have also ported over:

collect2: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault], core dumped /usr/local/armbe/armv4b-unknown-linux/bin/ld: Dwarf Error: Could not find abbrev number 66. /usr/local/armbe/armv4b-unknown-linux/bin/ld: Dwarf Error: Invalid or unhandled FORM value: 14.

I used the same procedure to compile and link this particular library as several others I've ported over, and the others work just fine and dandy. If I comment out the library calls in the trouble program, every thing compiles fine. I am staticly linking.

Goolge makes this appear as a binutils issue. Needless to say, this is rather disheartening, as I don't relish the idea of having to figure out how to upgrade the dev environment. I have read over David Mantre's toolchain howto from some time ago, and that's where I go next unless someone has a save. Anyone one else seen and delt with this issue?

Thanks, Cyrus
