I thought I hadn't had a go at a make build in a while and got to the
'--whole-archive' not understood by ld bit, so I thought I would make
a new ld. I went into src/gnu/usr.bin/ld and did a make cleandir &&
make depend && make && make install to get a segmentation fault during
install -c -s -o bin -g bin  -m 555 ld.so /usr/libexec/ld.so
I copied it by hand, but now everything that is dynamically linked
dies with eg.
nogo, Data abort: 'Translation fault (page)' status = 007
 address = 100187c4 PC = 10006278
Back to the ftp site...
