FYI binutils-2.16 has just been released.  You might want to try that.

Not clear if there will be a binutils-2.15.1 release, but if you check 
out the binutils-2_15-release tree from sourceware.org cvs, then it 
includes the patch that you need.  It was added to the release branch 
after the binutils 2.15 release was made.

Apparently this problem only shows up for x86 when using Sun tools, but 
when using GNU tools, it also shows up for sparc.
