Bug Description

SRU acceptance criteria:
 - the package builds
 - the newly added tests pass, no regressions to previous builds
 - needs only testing on armhf, no other changes.

Original bug report:

When linking large applications, we sometimes see this error. This is affecting the LLVM ARM buildbots.

The issue was fixed upstream:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20608

Could you please backport it to Xenial?

I have applied the patch on top of binutils_2.26.1.orig.tar.gz + binutils_2.26.1-1ubuntu1~16.04.3.diff.gz as found here:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial-updates/binutils-arm-linux-gnueabihf

It applies cleanly (except the ChangeLog) and passes make check.

Hello Diana, or anyone else affected,

Accepted binutils into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/binutils/2.26.1-1ubuntu1~16.04.5 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Hey Matthias! I see the xenial upload has a bunch of autopkgtests failing against -proposed. Could you take a look if any of those are related?

the binutils change is limited to arm32 only. so you have to look for other things causing these "regressions".

the linux/armhf failure seems to be unrelated, packaging error?
