>Description:
Attempting to load any kernel module results in the following error:

# modload -d -v /usr/lkm/msdosfs.o
ld -R /netbsd -e msdosfs_lkmentry -o /usr/lkm/msdosfs -Ttext 0x0 /usr/lkm/msdosfs.o
ld: internal error: aborting at /usr/home/stewart/NetBSD/gnu/dist/toolchain/ld/ldlang.c line 3847 in lang_place_orphans
ld: please report this bug
modload: can't prelink `/usr/lkm/msdosfs.o' creating `/usr/lkm/msdosfs'
