Bug#2161: elf-binutils 2.5.2l.20-1 ld can be made to segfault

[Ian Jackson <ian@chiark.chu.cam.ac.uk>]

Package: elf-binutils
Version: 2.5.2l.20-1

I have a very very broken ELF compiler setup through entirely my own
fault, and so I'm not expecting the linker to work.  However, it
should not segfault.
