Thanks for testing the patch.

Ah, yes, you're right, I'd only tested mainline.  I've now tried 3.4,
and like you say, it builds fine with gld.

Yeah, I'm seeing this too.  It looks like some of the objects have
no suffix and gld thinks they must be linker scripts.  Haven't had
a chance to look into it yet...

Anyway, I'm about to submit the patch.  I'll try my best to argue
that this is a regression ;)
