It is happening because every once in a while unstable lives up to its name, and today is one of those days. A little one-line fix I did to binutils to get it to build ld with unstable's current version of flex turned out to get it to build alright, but resulted in a segfaulting ld. A fixed version (2.13.90.0.18-1.7) can be downloaded for i386 from http://incoming.debian.org/ currently. Other archs will undoubtedly follow and it will enter unstable in 13.5 hours.
