I began having a similar error after compiling and linking some
test program. The error was that i use the line:
          gcc -ansi test.c -o

and gcc emit output that overwrite crt0.o After the error i was
unable to link any code until i got a fresh copy of crt0.o
Maybe thats happening to you...

Hope that helps.
