Binutils-2.30-98.el8.aarch64 Broken On Raspberry Pi4

The recent update of binutils/binutils-devel on aarch64 totally breaks gcc. When running gcc over a simple program with main – executing it results in a SIGSEGV, as the _start prologue calls a NULL pointer.

I haven’t figured out yet how to build a new build using git.CentOS.org, but I noticed that there is a -99 variant out there…
-90 worked fine.

What’s the quickest way to get this back to being operational?
The instructions to build a new package look to be a bit scattered – and how can I build a working one if any update picks up a borked one…

  • Johnny,

    I can confirm that it fixes the issue, test code runs Ok!
