 After applying this patch to binutils, the output from the cross-assembler
(hosted on sparc-sun-solaris2.5, compiling for i386-unknown-netbsd12) works
fine, but do you have any ideas why the binutils ld seems to be losing ?
Binaries linked on the Solaris box die on the i386:

Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
#0  0x19e0 in exit ()

and that's all that shows in the trace. I have NetBSD /usr/lib nfs mounted
and according to truss the cross-ld finds the right files.
