It is a nasty bug. Here is a small testcase.

# make
cc -fPIC   -c -o ref.o ref.c
cc -fPIC   -c -o reg.o reg.c
ld -o reg.so -shared --version-script=reg.v reg.o
ld -shared -o ref.so ref.o
ld -shared ref.o reg.so ref.so reg.o
ld: BFD 2.13.90.0.21 20030423 internal error, aborting at
/export/linux/src/binutils/binutils/bfd/elf32-i386.c line 2362 in
elf_i386_relocate_section

ld: Please report this bug.

make: [ref] Error 1 (ignored)
cc    -c -o bad.o bad.c
ld -shared bad.o reg.so ref.so reg.o
make: *** [bad] Segmentation fault

My patch seems to fix the first one, but not the second one.
