There are probably two bugs here. Firstly, ld shouldn't trigger an internal error when printing the error message... > Relocation section '.rel.text.startup' at offset 0x5398 contains 24 entries: > Offset Info Type Sym.Value Sym.

It is illegal to use a GOT16 relocation without a LO16 relocation somewhere after it (as the ld error says). Therefore the bug is in whatever created your main.o file (this is likely to be another part of binutils though). It would be useful to have a reduced .c file which can reproduce this bug and then decide if its a bug in gcc or binutils. Thanks, James
