You still didn't answer my question, which binutils you use.  Might be
this information is of some use to understand the problem.

Which releases of RedHat and SuSE?  I assume the technical differences
between some releases are bigger than the general differences between
RedHat, SuSE or most of the other distributions.

No, this is not the case, as this also happens with the official
3.2.1, the current 3.2, 3.3 and HEAD branches from cvs _without_ any
special patch.  I just mentioned the SuSE release as an additional
information that should make debugging easier for the one that has an
idea what could be the problem here, my intention was not to confuse
people with that information.

I don't think so.  I have checked that on more than ten systems
including one fresh out-of-the-box SuSE 8.1 installation.  On all
those systems the same thing happens: 3.2 works correctly, but 3.2.1
and any of the 3.2, 3.3 and HEAD branches do _not_ work correctly.

I hope you do not ignore it.  My colleague and I have invested some
time to track this down to such a simple test case.  (The real world
test case were megabytes of code.)

Might be, that this is an issue with a SuSE 8.1 system.  So could
someone that has such a system try to reproduce the problem?
(Andreas?)  The best thing might be if someone that has multiple
systems including a SuSE 8.1 could test on which systems he can
reproduce the problem and on which not.
