  No, let's try and actually figure out the problem.

  One thing to try would be to run d2u on that .def file and see if it
solves it.  Some of the binutils are known to segfault on bad input and I
think that DOS-style lineendings in textfiles to ld may well be one of them.
Even though you've remounted UNIX mode, it's possible the .def file itself
has become permanently DOSified.

  Another thing to try and understand is why gcc version 3.3.1 is getting
involved in the process.  That should _not_ be happening.  However, we'll
get into that if the d2u trick doesn't fix it.

    cheers,
      DaveK
