2. run gmake:

gmake: *** [memtest_shared] Error 139


Not only linking fails, but ld even crashes.
Things are more complicated than usual because of the custom linker
script memtest_shared.lds.

The same compiles/links nicely on Fedora 9.
$ ld -v
GNU ld version 2.18.50.0.6-5.fc9 20080403


Can anybody suggest anything about this problem?
If somebody is working on newer version of binuitls for FreeBSD I can
help as a tester.
