Bug#432599: gcc-4.2: Spurious warning building amd64 binaries on i386

[Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>]

Package: gcc-4.2
Version: 4.2-20070707-1
Severity: important

Attempting to build even the most basic amd64 binaries generate a
spurious warning on i386:

| broonie@lorien:/tmp$ cat foo.c
| int main(void)
| {
|         return 0;
| }
| broonie@lorien:/tmp$ gcc-4.1 -m64 foo.c -o foo
| broonie@lorien:/tmp$ gcc-4.2 -m64 foo.c -o foo
| /usr/bin/ld: error in /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.2.1/64/crtend.o(.eh_frame); no .eh_frame_hdr table will be created.

I'm pretty sure the same error was seen with GCC 4.1 earlier this year
although Google and my memory are failing me other than suggesting that
this may actually be a binutils problem rather than a GCC one.
