To be clear this bug will manifest itself in a binutils that has been
built with --enable-targets=all or any binutils that has a 64 bit target
in it's target list. Otherwise this will not manifest itself. That is
not an immediate problem for natty but it would be good to have the
patch in the source base so that we don't accidentally hit this in a
cross-compiler or in the cases detailed in the upstream bug report /
patch.

The risk of a real package being affected by this bug is low because
most packages are built with the native binutils which seems to only
target armel and no other target.

Looking at a log from a native build of binutils in natty this is how it
is configured :


../configure --with-sysroot=/ --enable-shared --enable-plugins --prefix=/usr 
--build=arm-linux-gnueabi --host=arm-linux-gnueabi --with-pkgversion="GNU 
Binutils for Ubuntu" --disable-werror --enable-ld=default --enable-gold
