jade 1.3 compilation failed (Linux)

[Jany Quintard <quintard.j@xxxxxx>]

Compilation of jade 1.3 under linux fails.
I try to use the unix installation trilogy : 
  ./configure --prefix mydirectory
  make
  make install
and it fails in step "make" after having built a series of symbolic links:
.../...
ln -s arc_inst.lo arc_inst.o
ln -s ParserEventGeneratorKit.lo ParserEventGeneratorKit.o
ln -s SGMLApplication.lo SGMLApplication.o
ln -s EventGenerator.lo EventGenerator.o
ln -s GenericEventHandler.lo GenericEventHandler.o

when executing:
gcc -shared  Allocator.lo Link.lo IListBase.lo ...
with errors:
ld: bfd assertion fail ../../bfd/elf32-i386.c:617
ld: bfd assertion fail ../../bfd/elf32-i386.c:617
ld: bfd assertion fail ../../bfd/elf32-i386.c:617

This is :
 Linux 2.2.12
 gcc version 2.7.2.3

Note : I compiled previous version of jade (OpenJade version "1.2.2") on
 Linux 2.0.29
 gcc version 2.7.2.1
and it was nice (just a compiler internal error that was fixed by
disabling optimizations ;-))

So is there a bug in the scripts ?
I am afraid this could come from some flaw in my Linux installation.

Does anyone of the build gurus (I wish I was one !) have an idea ?

TIA. Jany
