unable to reproduce this on my ppc64 :/
I have seen this before (bug #133520 comment #29), but wasn't able to reproduce it either, so I thought it would be fixed in an revision bump of binutils-2.16.1 series. binutils-2.17 does not show this problem.
It all goes away with the upgrade to gcc 4.1.1. Since the said version of gcc is marked now stable on PPC64, the bug should be probably closed.
binutils-2.17 stable on ppc64. marking as FIXED.
closing
now realy closing
