Description of problem:
While compiling the kernel on brew, multiple times kvm.ko fails to link
because of a segmentation fault in x86_64:
/bin/sh: line 1:   611 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) ld -r -m elf_x86_64 -T /builddir/build/BUILD/kernel-2.6.32/linux-2.6.32-131.0.2.el6.test.x86_64/scripts/module-common.lds --build-id -o arch/x86/kvm/kvm.ko.unsigned arch/x86/kvm/kvm.o arch/x86/kvm/kvm.mod.o
make[1]: *** [arch/x86/kvm/kvm.ko.unsigned] Error 139
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

for some reason, this couldn't be reproduced locally in my x86_64 RHEL6 box, even
matching the package versions and using mock with the same configuration used in
a failed build.

core attached.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
always

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-04-19 06:00:31 UTC
Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

[patch] RELOC_AGAINST_DISCARDED_SECTION crash on +1 overrun
http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2011-04/msg00273.html

scratch binutils-2.20.51.0.2-5.19rh697703.el6
https://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/taskinfo?taskID=3269571

I do not have the crash reproducible with the Comment #4 .src.rpm so I cannot verify the fix.
