I use toolchain from Buildroot compiled from sources on my ubuntu 10.04 
host. I have made some testing today:

gcc 4.4.5 + binutils 2.19 - works ok
gcc 4.2.4 + binutils 2.19 - works ok
gcc 4.4.5 + binutils 2.20.1 - fails
gcc 4.2.4 + binutils 2.20.1 - fails
gcc 4.4.5 + binutils 2.20 - fails

Results show that it doesn't depend on compiler version and depends only 
on binutils - v2.20 and higher versions doesn't work.
