I built binutils from TOT CVS and it links without errors.

binutils ltversion.m4
m4_define([LT_PACKAGE_VERSION], [2.2.7a])
m4_define([LT_PACKAGE_REVISION], [1.3134])

Not exactly sure on what version of binutils it was fixed.

sudo ~/binutils/bin/ld -m elf_i386 -r -o /usr/src/fglrx-8.723/2.6.x/fglrx.o /usr/src/fglrx-8.723/2.6.x/firegl_public.o /usr/src/fglrx-8.723/2.6.x/kcl_acpi.o /usr/src/fglrx-8.723/2.6.x/kcl_agp.o /usr/src/fglrx-8.723/2.6.x/kcl_debug.o /usr/src/fglrx-8.723/2.6.x/kcl_ioctl.o /usr/src/fglrx-8.723/2.6.x/kcl_io.o /usr/src/fglrx-8.723/2.6.x/kcl_pci.o /usr/src/fglrx-8.723/2.6.x/kcl_str.o /usr/src/fglrx-8.723/2.6.x/kcl_wait.o /usr/src/fglrx-8.723/2.6.x/libfglrx_ip.a.GCC4

My system is using this version of binutils:

$ ld --version
GNU gold (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu 2.20.1-system.20100303) 1.9
Copyright 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

The closest tags to that in CVS are:
sid-snapshot-20100301
cgen-snapshot-20100301

Is this the same binutils that Ubuntu 10.04 is using?

Oh, I see. I need to configure with --enable-gold to get the same version as Ubuntu 10.04
tar -zxf binutils-2.20.1.tar.gz
./configure --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --enable-gold --prefix=~/binutils-2.20.1/build; make -j4; make install

And with that I can reproduce the bug.
~/binutils-2_20.1/build/bin/ld: internal error in output_symtab_index, at object.h:1086

Also fails in 2.20

Likely a missing symbol in the fglx library. Odd however that it links with ld, but not gold.

For some reason this is never called in gold/object.h:
  set_output_symtab_index(unsigned int i)
  {
    gold_assert(this->output_symtab_index_ == 0);
    this->output_symtab_index_ = i;
  }

Hope this information is helpful.
