It's probably caused by this bug in binutils: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=471901

It has been fixed in the mean time, but only after binutils 2.19.1 was  
released (and I guess your Ubuntu comes either with 2.19 or 2.19.1 --  
although the bug already existed in some 2.18.x versions as well.).
