Dear developers, I've just got bitten by this bug. About 3 millimeters from my carotid artery...
This bugs effectively renders my system unusable for compilation purposes : even extremely mundane uses, such as upgradng some R packages, is now impossible. Suggestions : 1) The gravity of this bug should be elevated : it renders the system unusable at least for some mundane uses. 2) The upgrade to glibc should be conditioned to the upgrade of binutils 3) A workaround should be posted on this bug report as soon as possible (upgrade to unstable's binutils ?), and possibly publicized by larger means (finding this bug is not obvious for pedestrian users like me...). Sincerely yours, -- Emmanuel Charpentier
