This is definitely abnormal.
I recently saw a difference between the output of cross-ld and 
native-ld. The cross one was good, the native one added some garbage at 
the end. Maybe that's the same problem for you. Maybe there is an issue 
with file handling in the MiNTLib, it has to be investigated.

This warning is very common with GCC 4.
Unfortunately, I didn't investigate it.
I don't know if there is a standard way to fix the code.

Thank you for using GCC 4 !
