Hi.

Are you sure you built amarok-2.2.0 with binutils-2.20? I've tested this
yesterday and at this point it seems that the problem is caused by
building amarok-2.2.0 with binutils-2.20. If one builds amarok with
binutils-2.19.1-r1 and then updates binutils, amarok should start
without any issues.
I've asked the help of our binutils maintainer about this and will keep
the relevant bug (290662)[1] updated.
