One step further on. The illegal unwind descriptors are being caused
by the linker (GNU ld version 2.14.90.0.4 20030523) sometimes putting
everything from .init.text onwards in an extra output program header.
Has anybody seen this symptom before?
The error is horribly sensitive. Deleting a single asm(nop) bundle
from a .c file is enough to move from a bad to a good link. Rerunning
the very last ld step with no change to the input files but adding -q
to ld makes the problem go away.
Good link, with 4 program headers.
