[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#751278: libguestfs: FTBFS on amd64, i386, and mips*

[Hilko Bengen]

control: reassign -1 binutils 2.24.51.20140604-3
control: retitle -1 crashes were introduced in the recent binutils snapshot.

I have tried using combinations of gcc-4.9 4.9.0-6, gcc-4.8 4.8.3-3,
binutils 2.24.51.20140604-3 and 2.24.51.20140425-1 to build the default
target (debian/build-default) of the libguestfs package on sid/amd64.

ld.bfd from binutils 2.24.51.20140604-3 crashed, regardless of the
compiler. ld.bfd from binutils 2.24.51.20140425-1 worked fine to build
everything.

This looks like a strong indicator that there's something seriously
wrong with ld.bfd from the current binutils package.

Cheers,
-Hilko
