That is an extremely old buggy binutils.  The oldest binutils which I have 
been able to use successfully for IA64 is
binutils-2.15.92.0.2-19.ia64.rpm
(not from a concern about spurious warnings).
If you are using the binutils which red hat issued with EL4.3, there was a 
red hat hot fix for premature exhaustion of short data segment.
