This bug has been fixed and pushed to the main repo.

I tested it on the Debian system that caused the initial problem, and it was fixed (the `./configure' script went all the way to the end without any crash).

I forgot to add that as a result of the previous commit, the solution to this problem is that Binutils should be built alone.

I don't have time to do it immediately (so any help would be appreciated) ;-).

Currently (on GNU/Linux systems) GNU Binutils is built in parallel with other programs. As a result, the moment that the Binutils executable (most importantly `ld') are being installed, if another program is using them, we can have a crash.

For some reason, this crash doesn't happen on Fedora or Arch Linux, but on some versions of Debian, it causes the following crash when we are building Git (which happens to be built while Binuntils is being installed):


credential-cache--daemon.o: file not recognized: File format not recognized


In a following run of `./configure' (when Binutils has been installed), Git will build and install successfully.

This bug was previously reported by Raul on an Ubuntu, but rediscovered now. The reason we didn't report it before was that we weren't able to understand/reproduce it before, so we thought it may be some temporary thing caused by some other software conflicting with the build).
