Thanks for your help. Fortunately it turned out to be much simpler. I 
saw someone suggest upgrading to a newer binutils for a similar 
problem and it helped. I'm now using the latest binutils RPM and 
don't seem to have any problems.

You are right that it has a lot of initialized data. It has one 
"defaults.cc" file with a large amount of static defaults. We'll 
probably discuss whether it's better to keep this or have a default 
config file load in before the user's config file.

Thanks to everyone for their help!
Cheers,
