No, he spoke about an other tool (written by me) which is still
not full tested.

The current solutions are the following:

1) Use the linker 2.5.2 (which is distributed also with that package)

2) Remove all aout object files from the library and link them
   explicit on commandline to your program.

3) Apply the following patch to the binutils 2.7 sources

  and rebuild the linker. The resulting ld.exe will run slower,
  because it uses now the general slow linking routines, but
  it can handle now also mixed object formats in a library.
