I've no idea why ld crashes but I forgot to tell you an important thing: 
The dll which would be created by your command lines would not work 
because
there is no entry point specified. ld sets a default entry point in this 
case
and it is nearly impossible to say what happens on dll startup (ok, it 
shouldn't
have anything to do with the ld crash, but who knows ...) 
Please make sure that you have written a dll startup routine
     
BOOL WINAPI dll_entry(HANDLE, DWORD, LPVOID) 
{
   return TRUE;  /* if you don't have to do any dll initialization
                    stuff this function just has to return TRUE */
}
     
and tell the linker what the dll startup routine is:
     
ld -e _dll_entry AT 12 <your ld options>
     
Maybe this fixes your problem.
     
     
Gunther
