The binutils list would be a better place.

A bit more of the output would help with isolating the problem.
Anyway, IIRC there are two effects which cause this error:
 - Linking in binary objects which were built by a toolchain without
   prelink support, probably one of the compiler-internal startup files.
 - Use of an older version on binutils (from the time when the prelink
   patches went in), which still had a few issues with handling the
   additional segment.

I believe binutils 2.18 works fine WRT prelinking. I don't remember
the particular patches to watch out for, though.
