discarded sections problems with g++-3.4

I have a linking problems with the current binutils in dapper (binutils 2.16.1cvs20060117-1ubuntu1) and g++-3.4 [1].

After much head scratching I found that downgrading binutils to 2.15-5ubuntu2.2 fixes this issue, so it must have been introduced in newer versions.

[1] The project I am trying to compile doesn't work yet with g++ 4

Here is the output:
