Title:
  10.04: binutils-gold is out of date

Status in “binutils” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: binutils

  binutils-gold (2.20.1-3ubuntu7) seems to be too old in 10.04.
  The version of gold available with apt-get fails to correctly link a static binary (the fresh gold works fine). 

  % cat st.cc 
  #include <stdio.h> 
  int main() { 
    int c = 1; 
    int res = sscanf("123", "%d", &c); 
    fprintf(stderr, "XXX: %d %d\n", res, c); 
  } 
  % g++ st.cc -static && ./a.out 
  XXX: 1 123 
  % sudo apt-get install binutils-gold 
  ... 
  % g++ st.cc -static && ./a.out 
  XXX: -1 1 
  % sudo apt-get remove binutils-gold 
  ... 
  % g++ st.cc -static && ./a.out 
  XXX: 1 123
