In addition, those are not the best example of collaboration. For instance, the upload of binutils 2.43.50.20241126-1 to unstable caused many of the packages using binutils-* to FTBFS (see for instance #1089190, #1089199, #1090194, #1090195). Nicolas Boulenguez promptly proposed you a patch in #1090761, but it has been ignored in the two subsequent uploads, until I pinged you on IRC on 2025-01-01. In the meantime packages implemented various workaround to prevent autoremoval, some of them had to be reverted...
this is unrelated. but yes, the correct fix is to build without -Werror. This is a good option for uptreams, but not for the distro. Package maintainers still wanting to build with -Werror should cope with the fall-out. I'll change the binutils package to disable Werror by default.
