Comment 4 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2009-10-04 00:42:51 UTC 
upgrade to binutils-2.18-r4 or drop USE=multitarget and rebuild binutils

Ok Thanks. 
I need multitarget and I prefer to keep the stable version of binutils.

But Why does this problems happen?
Comment 6 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2009-10-05 16:39:36 UTC 
it logically follows that there is a bug in the current stable version which has been fixed in newer versions
