           Summary: ld produces large files, enormous .eh_frame section
           Product: openSUSE 11.0
           Version: Final
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Development
        AssignedTo: pth@novell.com
        ReportedBy: jengelh@medozas.de

I have absolutely no clue what could be going on, but fact is that ld produces
a giant .eh_frame in the final binary ('ls') when I do the following change to
coreutils-jen04-dir1st-symlink.diff

- if (ta == directory) if (tb != directory)
+ if (ta == directory && tb != directory)

The ld bug is very hard to trigger and only occurs on x86_64, not i386. To date
I have only seen two test cases (including mine).

Apart from artificially bloating the eh_frame, the program seems to run fine.
Running `strip -j .eh_frame` on the giant binary returns it to normal size,
though there might be adverse affects (which?) by doing so.
Attaching .src.rpm that contains the testcase.
