I think I know how to fix it... My port of binutils 2.8.1 does at least 
give me identical libraries as with our old gas, but to be really honest,
I'm not completely sure that I know what I'm doing in some parts of the 
reloc adjustment code...

I had planned to make my binutils patches aviable last week, but I
got regressions after my source cleanup. I'll try to fix it this 
weekend.
