To wit, a build with in-tree binutils works. But, it works for the wrong
reason: there's a bug in the extraction of gas and ld version, which has the
effect of turning off every optional (and version-tested) gas and ld feature.
Thus, for in-tree binutils, support for .hidden is turned off (*) and
corresponding #ifs in crtstuff.c cause the code to be different. It works but
for the wrong reason.
The linker error messages indicates a linker bug, because the offending insn:
LDA $252,__TMC_END__+7
or actually, the "__TMC_END__+7" operand, is valid; there are no restrictions
for base-plus-offset symbol expressions (like, not having an offset or offsets
being a multiple of 8).
I'm keeping this PR open and assigned instead of closing as invalid until I
know this is the only build-breaking bug (or libobjc-build-breaking bug).
