Subject: binutils 2.24 arm-elf32.c assertion error

i'm trying since a while to hunt down a nasty assertion error in 
binutils 2.24.

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16698

it seems to be related to the usage of weak symbols in fflush.o and 
stdin.o (similar problem to the gcc 4.9.0 regression discussed here 
recently) in combination with -s (strip) and -Wl,--gc-sections.

since binutils 2.24 has a couple of bugs fixed that plagued us in the 
past, it's highly desirable to get this one fixed as well so there's a 
finally a single binutils version that works for all target archs.

so i would appreciate if someone with good toolchain skills could take a 
  look at the bugreport and the attached testcase.

thanks,
--JS
