This looks like a binutils issue.
My suggestion to you is to try the following:
1. Clone a copy of the master repository like this: git clone
git://sourceware.org/git/glibc.git
2. Try to build that and see if it works.
If you can build the current 2.19 development snapshot with your tools then you
should be good to go.
Keep in mind that the tools and glibc evolve together, and while we try to keep
everything working together the combination of compiler, linker, linux headers,
and glibc do have some undocumented dependencies.
If you can't compile master, then your best bet is to find an old distribution
that ships with 2.15, install it, and use *that* to do your development since
you know it was able to build 2.15 with the tools it deploys as system tools.
Good luck with your project ;-)
Cheers,
Carlos.
