But if I link the objects directly by an invocation of the compiler
front-end, there is no such problem (and it is still GNU ld).

And if I compare the two versions with readelf, I found crti.o mentionned
at the beginning of the .strtab in the library built without warning, 
and not in the library with a mutilated .strtab (the mention of crti.o
is the very first string).

There was a correction in FreeBSD, related also to these messages about
.strtab, because crti.o was doubly included. It seems to me suspicious
that the same combination of .strtab warnings (and mutilated section)
and crti.o appears here...
