Certainly a segfault in ld is a bug in ld.  If you can provide the
object, you can report a bug at http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/ .
Otherwise your first step is going to be to run gcc -Wl,-debug
--save-temps to see precisely how ld is being run, and then run ld under
a debugger.  Well, actually, the first step would be to make sure that
you are using the most recent GNU binutils release, in case the bug has
already been fixed.
