This problem actually sounds familiar like with the F15 or F17 build. Not sure
if it was the same package or not.
What is the next "blocker" if this is considered resolved?
Is there any followup on our part for making sure our list of fixes are getting
pushed upstream? Ie there are peeps willing to do -easy- stuff, andjust
double-checking list to make sure the patches are getting applied upstream, and
maybe even back to the original source actually sounds helpful. It is tedious,
and time consuming but it isn't terribly hard if you have an accurate list and
a patch in hand.
It is a pain maintaining the list, but it makes is super easy for people to
jump in and help when they have spare cycles.
I'm not implying this is the problem in this particular case, but if say this
was found before, and the fix never made it upstream back
through the process. It might only be a 5 minute human time fix, but it also
wasted maybe 15-20 minutes of builder time, and more importantly it might stop
the entire build process which in turn backs up the release date.
It is actually important. And it should free up some time for a few people.

It's not causing us issues as yet so I think I'll await a proper
binutils fix for f18.
