This regression was introduced between 2008-05-02 10:10am and
2008-07-09 5:45pm PDT.  Does ld from binutils 2.18.50.0.7 work
on the same init/main.o init/version.o init/mounts.o
init/noinitramfs.o? If yes, please open a bug report at

http://www.sourceware.org/bugzilla/

with those .o files. If not, please find out why.

Thanks.
