[Bug target/41684] New: [4.4/4.5 regression] binutils testsuite failures when built with 4.4/4.5

["doko at ubuntu dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

when binutils 2.20 branch is built with gcc-4.4 branch or trunk, I see the
following test failures in the ld testsuite. Checked with gcc-4.4 from
debian/testing, debian/unstable and ubuntu/karmic, and gcc-snapshot (4.5
20091010) from debian/unstable.
