Comment 8 Nick Clifton 2022-04-01 16:24:58 UTC

OK, this is a binutils problem.

We need to backport this commit to the assembler:

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commitdiff;h=af4bcb4ce6939da1738c847a06789d2223b67ca4

and then additionally the patch that allows the rng extension to be used without armv8.5:
