OK, will do.

I'm not surprised it dies: even ld can see that something's wrong. With
V=1 we see this:

which is the assertion here, inside

  if (tls_count > 0)
    {
      int i;

      amt = sizeof (struct elf_segment_map);
      amt += (tls_count - 1) * sizeof (asection *);
      m = bfd_zalloc (abfd, amt);
      if (m == NULL)
        goto error_return;
      m->next = NULL;
      m->p_type = PT_TLS;

      m->p_flags = PF_R;
      m->p_flags_valid = 1;
      for (i = 0; i < tls_count; ++i)

I'll try that next.
