Description of problem:

  The rebase of the binutils rpm in RHEL 7.5 has exposed a problem in that
  static i686 and x86_64 libraries and object files built with the rebased
  assembler now contain relocations that are not recognised by older linkers,
  including those shipped with RHEL 7.4 and earlier.

  The RHEL 7.5 assembler has now been patched to prevent the generation of
  these relocations, (which were only used to enable a link time optimization)
  but the following rpms still contain them and need to be rebuilt: 

    binutils-devel-2.27-19.base.el7.i686.rpm
    binutils-devel-2.27-19.base.el7.x86_64.rpm

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

  2.27-19

How reproducible:

  Always.

Steps to Reproduce:

0. mkdir /dev/shm/delme; pushd /dev/shm/delme
1. rpm2cpio <suspect-rpm> | cpio -dim
2. find . -type f -exec readelf -r -W {} \; > relocs.out
3. grep -e GOTPCRELX -e GOT32X relocs.out

Actual results:

  Relocs found.

Expected results:

  No relocs found.
