Yes, I could do that. (occurred to me on the bus after posting
this.)
Grabbed version 6.0...

I got
brains hgs 37 %> gdb /scratch/local/bin/ld core
GNU gdb 6.0

This GDB was configured as "sparc-sun-solaris2.9"...
Core was generated by `/usr/local/bin/ld -G -dy -z text -Y P,/usr/ccs/lib:/usr/lib -Qy -o .libs/libdot'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
#0  concat_copy2 (first=0x22ae10 "ÿ¿ìË") at concat.c:100

(gdb) where

So I was thinking there might be something to filter the core file
in order to yield information to better effect that my efforts above.

So now with binutils from cvs what happens?  Errr, nothing: it
builds but won't install from cvs:
