armhf error: Need linker with .init_array/.fini_array support

[Peace <pc_5 at yahoo dot com>]

I'm seeing this error building the toolchain for armhf ---


[CFG  ]    checking whether to put _rtld_local into .sdata section... no
[CFG  ]    checking for .preinit_array/.init_array/.fini_array support... no
[ERROR]    configure: error: Need linker with .init_array/.fini_array support.

I started with the arm-cortex_a8-linux-gnueabi base configuration and selected the appropriate versions to match the target system. I'm building with crosstool-ng-1.18.0 on Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS (x86).  I tried selecting binutils versions 2.21-2.23 and they had the some problem. I also tried setting the linker to "ld, gold" and "gold, ld" and the error looked worse (it couldn't determine the ld version).

The .config and build.log are posted at
https://github.com/pchen-aff/crosstool-ng-armhf-debug/wiki/_pages

Note that the build.log was too large for the wiki page and was truncated. I put the bottom section of it in the page "build.log (end)"

Thanks the great work you guys have put into crosstool-ng.  Looking forward to your response :)

-Peace
