Thanks! Downgraded the binutils package from 2.16.1cvs20050902-1 (Debian 
unstable) to 2.16.1-2 (testing). The message still appears, but no error 
is reported and the build completes. Found similar messages in what 
appears to be an automated daily build for ia64 ... assuming those 
messages can be safely ignored.

Would this information be useful in the release notes?

Sameer.
