I was going to ask whether that isn't a binutils issue but I just
realized that you said (below) that you were not using binutils and a
closely related report have been made in the past (nearly a year ago).

Well, it seems that that issue had been debated in-depth; I would really
appreciate  if Alexandre Oliva or Tom Tromey or any libtool-guru could
jump in and enlighten me.
