  I also got this on my 5000/25, which I had just upgraded to use shared
libraries a week ago.  I used the existing snapshot on ftp.netbsd.org
at the time to upgrade.  [I had never gotten around to putting the shared
library stuff on the 5000/25 since I had moved most of my hacking to the
5000/50.  The 5000/50 started getting flakey, so I shut it off for a while.]
When I was finally able to get a stable source tree and the 5000/50 going
again, I had no problem linking backgammon or teachgammon on the 5000/50.
I then copied /usr/bin/ld from the 5000/50 to the 5000/25, and had no problem
linking those two programs.

  It would appear to be a bug in ld.  The working ld was from one of the
earlier snapshots with shared library support.  Version cygnus-2.7.1 works
OK, but version 2.8.1 doesn't.
