Ah, I see. Then I should update the script I add
(scripts/test_dwarf5_support.sh) to feature detect that bug, since
it's the latest of the bunch. Also, should update my comment to note
that this requires binutils greater than 2.35.1 (which is what I have,
which fails, since the backport landed in ... what?!) How was this
backported to 2.35
(https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27195#c12, Jan 26
2021) when binutils-2_35_1 was tagged sept 19 2020? Or will there be
a binutils 2.35.2 point release?
