>Description:

When ld, called by collect2, crashes without a core dump, collect2 says

collect2: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault], core dumped

But when I set "ulimit -c unlimited" and repeat the step, so that I
get a core dump, collect2 says merely

collect2: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault]

>How-To-Repeat:

Give a link command line that makes ld crash. Once with "ulimit -c 0",
once with "ulimit -c unlimited".

>Fix:

In collect2.c, function collect_wait, change

  status & 0200 ? "" : ", core dumped"

to

  status & 0200 ? ", core dumped" : ""
