[Buildroot] arm-linux-ld: BFD 2.17 assertion fail with arm-linux-gcc 4.1.1

Hi Guys, 

I am trying to compile my source code which uses std librarie functions. I have added following option to LDFLAGS in the make file.

 -L/usr/local/arm/4.1.1-920t/lib -L/usr/local/arm/4.1.1-920t/lib/gcc/arm-linux-uclibc/4.1.1 -lgcc -lc 


It is giving this error=>  
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
make

make -C main

Initially i was arm-linux-gcc 3.4 that also give similar errors hence I updated the tool chain and tried compiling again. There is only error now as compared to arm-linux-gcc 3.4. 

Can some one please explain why this error is generated. 

Thanks
Tama

Where does your toolchain comes from ? It would probably be a good idea
to upgrade to at least gcc 4.3.x and a more recent version of binutils.

And again, how is this related to Buildroot ?
