Bug description:
  SRU acceptance criteria:
   - the package builds
   - the newly added tests pass, no regressions to previous builds
   - needs only testing on armhf, no other changes.

  Original bug report:

  When linking large applications, we sometimes see this error. This is
  affecting the LLVM ARM buildbots.

  The issue was fixed upstream:
  https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20608

  Could you please backport it to Xenial?

  I have applied the patch on top of binutils_2.26.1.orig.tar.gz + binutils_2.26.1-1ubuntu1~16.04.3.diff.gz as found here:
  https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial-updates/binutils-arm-linux-gnueabihf

  It applies cleanly (except the ChangeLog) and passes make check.
