ld internal error ../../ldlang.c 8045 (ppc64el Trixie)

[Steffen Grunewald <steffen.grunewald@aei.mpg.de>]

Good morning,

I'm trying to build some community software for Trixie on ppc64el, and am
constantly running into this error message:

[ 38%] Linking CXX shared library libldastoolsal.so
cd /build/ldas-tools-al-2.7.0/obj-powerpc64le-linux-gnu/src && /usr/bin/cmake -E cmake_link_script CMakeFiles/ldastoolsal.dir/link.txt --verbose=1
/usr/bin/ld: internal error ../../ld/ldlang.c 8045
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

This is in a VM (running in UTM on macOS), with a single CPU (for untangling
failing threads ;), 16 GB system disk, a large extra build disk (formatted
as ext4, also providing 15 GB of swap space) and 4 GB RAM, running pbuilder.

(I had started with something much smaller but wanted to rule out that some
filesystem filling up would have any bad effect. (The percentage stays the
same.)
The same software builds fine in a riscv64 VM half the size.

This happens with more than one package - I also tried to build btop 1.3.2:

90%-> mobj/linux/btop_collect.o
Linking and optimizing binary...
/usr/bin/ld: internal error ../../ld/ldlang.c 8045
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Now I'm looking for suggestions: How to interpret and evemtually overcome this?

Thanks,
 Steffen
