I've gone over the binutils archives (used 'fseek zero' as search term) and 
found that two other tries at a generic fix failed and the opinion was the 
seek/garbage problem should not be solved in the libc library and not BFD. So 
I don't think any patch I offer will be accepted. I think it would be better 
to solve the problem in our own libc and available by means of some flag.
