I have seen the following error from the "Stage 2" binutils build

Running /usr/src/binutils/binutils-2.27/ld/testsuite/ld-x86-64/x86-64.exp ...
FAIL: PLT PC-relative offset overflow check

with the summay as follows

                === ld Summary ===

# of expected passes            1741
# of unexpected failures        1
# of expected failures          57

# of unsupported tests          12
/usr/src/binutils/binutils-2.27/build/ld/ld-new 2.27

I note this is the same issue as reported here

http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/mail-archives/lfs-support/2016-February/049602.html

although the 7.10 book doesn't mention it as a "potential/known" fail

I also can't see what the "fix" was from the quoted thread but it looks
like it is a "can be ignored" ?

For reference:

Host machine is a CentOS 6.8 Xen DomU, running off of a CentOS 6.8 Xen Dom0
(which, incidently, is still at GCC 4.4.7, so some way shy  of the GCC
4.7 requirement
 that LFS 7.10 suggests - may look to move to the devtoolset-3-gcc
which is 4.9.2)

Notes:

1) Clealry I didn't run any binutils tests in the Stage 1 build

2) I'm not compiling it as root (this is a MCPM build)
