Bug#387765: Error: unknown pseudo-op: `.weakref' for every program

[Martin Bickel <martin@asc-hq.org>]

Package: g++-4.1
Version: 4.1.1-13
Severity: normal


I can't compile *any* C++ program with gcc-4.1.1. Even a trivial program like

#include <iostream>
int main()
{
   std::cout << "Hello World";
   return 0;
}

results, when called with 'g++ hello.cpp', in

/tmp/ccHGtEjK.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccHGtEjK.s:89: Error: unknown pseudo-op: `.weakref'
/tmp/ccHGtEjK.s:90: Error: unknown pseudo-op: `.weakref'
[and many more].

This looks very much like bug #342484 - but I'm using the latest version
of binutils available in unstable: 2.17-2

gcc-4.0 works fine.

I have this problem for several weeks now, perhaps since the introduction
of gcc-4.1.
