What is a buggy system linker?

[Lyndon Drake <lyndon stat auckland ac nz>]

Hi,

I've just compiled gnome-libs 0.99.1, and I noticed that whenever a program
binary (as opposed to a library) is created in the build, a message about a
buggy system linker is printed, along with the statement that I will have
to relink the program in question.  What's up?
