ld.bfd crashed with SIGSEGV in mempcpy() while compiling ruby-1.9.2-head rev 28645

[Matteo Settenvini]

Binary package hint: binutils

Steps to reproduce:

 * install rvm
 * try to compile ruby (rvm install ruby-1.9.2-head) with rev 28645 -- may happen also with other revs
 * crashes during linking

However, rvm ends the execution correctly, and installs ruby ok. Apport isn't happy, though, so I'm reporting this.

Applies to amd64.

I'm also getting a similar error when configuring qemu upstream (hash 08218b3527301760393b0b4ec732fcdfb7ff6cda).

Seems to run fine, but apport gets the segfault at ld.bfd:

is this still an issue with binutils from precise or quantal?
