I have no idea where this comes from. I mostly use 2.15 as cross binutils
and a few months ago I tested with binutils from CVS without problems.
Recently I also compiled a kernel with current binutils under m68k also
with no problems.
So I hope that this was only a temporary problem.

I know that current CVS has problems, but I'm currently syncing patches
upstream, so I'm postponing it to the weekend.
