I'll assume you're using the MSYS Makefiles generator.  Please let me
know if this is not the case.

In your CVS checkout try editing cmGlobalMSYSMakefileGenerator.cxx and
change the line

  this->UseLinkScript = false;

to

  this->UseLinkScript = true;

and report to me what happens.

Please try to strip your project down to a minimal example that
reproduces the crash and post it here.
