This is a bogus error, caused (I think) by a bug somewhere in the
linux-libc-ld.so-binutils interaction.  In any event, you don't get it
with ELF gcc and binutils.

There's a simple fix that doesn't involve moving to ELF -- though it
doesn't look like it applies to the case above, the symptom is so
similar that I'll assume the gcc command line above is not exactly
what was run.  Edit your Makefiles and remove the -g from the final
link.  gcc is supposed to ignore it anyway (see binutils docs).
This has fixed the problem every time it came up for me.
