Two things:

I fetched a CVS version of binutils from GNU yesterday evening and updated the debian source package and compiled:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ld --version
GNU ld version 051024 20051024 Debian GNU/Linux

This version seems to be a little(!!!) bit faster but not as before with gcc 3.3 and the old binutils. The binary packages and source are here: http://alpha.thetaphi.de/binutils/

binutils-CVS20051024 compiles without problems included in the original debian source package, the makefile.am/.in dpatch must be excluded (already included upstream cvs). The CVS version of yesterday had a problem in the MAN-Pages generation, but this was fixed by commenting out a link to a missing file.

What's interesting:
This bug only applies to linking object files of C++ programs, normal object files of C code are as fast as before (including the compilation of the new binutils...). Maybe this can lie in the fact that C++ compilers generate a lot of more symbols with auto-generated names.
