RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

On s390x, the binutils package ships a windres binary, which is not included in for other architectures (e.g. compare the file list for binutils-2.35.2-17.el9.s390x vs binutils-2.35.2-17.el9.x86_64).

Unfortunately, this binary doesn't actually work, failing with

windres: Can't detect architecture.

This is problematic because windres is sometimes detected by autotools, leading then to failed builds like https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=83236147

This also applies to Fedora: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2057636

Need to update the binutils.spec file so that the windres binary is not shipped.

Fixed in binutils-2.35.2-18.el9

Bumping ITM by one week to gain more time for testing. I got distracted by the fallout of the recent PSI outage.

Verified with binutils-2.35.2-19.el9.
