The abort is actually called from some libc subroutine that's a couple
levels below ld's code.

I'm close to having it build, I think.

It looks like the crash was caused by having the release 11.04 ld not
be able to find -lc.  It's in /lib/i386-linux-gnu on Ubuntu rather
than just in /lib.

After I get LLVM built all the way I'll try putting the release
binutils back to see whether I can still reproduce the crash.  It
might be that my homebuild ld's complaint that it can't find -lc
causes the release ld to abort.
