The gcc-4.0.2 is quite new but as you can see your binutils-2.14.90.0.4
release from 20030523 is soon 3 years old!
Of course the new GCCs "should" work also with 3 years old binutils, but
this is quite optimistic. When updating the
binutils doesn't take so long, people usually do just that and don't
wonder why the linker crashed or how to fix these
3 years old binutils sources so that these old binutils could accept the
code from the recent GCCs...
The most uptodate release is the "binutils-2.16.91.0.7 for Linux", at :
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/devel/binutils/
but updating at least to the last '2.15.94' could be recommended... If
this error still happens with them, or even with
this most uptodate '2.16.91.0.7', maybe then your host has some other
serious problem.
