Thanks.  I was able to reproduce this problem.

This is actually a bug in the gnu linker that is exposed by the newer
version of egcs.

The linker in binutils-2.9.1 does not handle R_SPARC_WPLT30 relocs
against local symbols.

Such relocations exist in the egcs-1.1 libgcc.a library (and possibly
others).
