I'm using nm and ld from binutils 2.11.2
This has been reported to the list a few times. It's basically a problem with libtool 1.4. There is a patch available to help this, but unfortunately it breaks the compile of things like conduits. I have no idea why libtool 1.4 needs to do things this way, or if there is any other solution. But I sure wish that it would get fixed either way, because it makes compile times several times longer than they need to be.
