So is it failing to load when specified in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/some_snippet_file.conf? If so, would you please
post the relevant file, and any others you've made for this system
that configure the keyboard?

Because binutils is a vital system component that it is very, very
important to have working. It's one of those programs whose tests you
absolutely do not want failing, since you're subsequently using it to
link, well, *everything*.

This is the command that was run, according to the message subject, as
an "upgrade" (piequiex's word, not mine). I assumed it was prefaced
by -Sy, since the subject is "segmentation fault after upgrade" rather
than something like "X11 segfaults after fresh install".

Try running pacman -Syu. Partial upgrades are not supported [1] for
exactly this reason.

Any PKGBUILD kept in git can already optionally have this feature. See
git-commit(1), specifically, its --gpg-sign option.
