[binutils] i686 build causes executables to produce segmentation faults

[uberhacker]

Although the binary package builds fine without tests, all executables will segfault. Errors from make check below:

Could this be a gold linker issue?

[uberhacker]

Same errors after switching the default back.

[saltedcoffii]

collect-ld means that the code referenced in an included header file cannot be found in a dynamic library in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. It's not a linker issue. lld has a really nice debugging output for the collect-ld, so you could try compiling with -fuse-ld=lld (making sure llvm is installed) instead of gold to see a good debug log. Don't do this for production as lld makes slower binaries.

I'm honestly not sure if binutils can be built with llvm... it's very gcc specific.

[satmandu]

Binutils no longer causes issues on i686.
