full build log from scratch build

This builds fine on F-27 and there's minimal deps. It fails on F-26. The only real difference is the binutils version (2.27-23.fc26 vs 2.28-8.fc27).

Full log attached.

Hi Peter,

  FYI - this bug has been fixed upstream:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20364

  I have copied the patch from there and added it to the F26 binutils.
  Please try: binutils-2.27-24.fc26

Cheers
  Nick
