Ah great, I just wrote a report after a build failure upgrading to
4.9.180 due to this one. It fails with older binutils (2.22 for me).
I'm cancelling my e-mail now seeing it's already known :-)

I can try some patches if original authors want to try another variant
of this patch later.

Cheers,
Willy
