Bug#834147: binutils: breaks mips and mipsel link of blender

source: binutils
version: 2.27-1
severity: serious
justification: breaks link and build of depending packages.

Hi, as said the latest blender upload is not working anymore, and since the failure seems to be in ld.gold, I presume
the changes between 2.26.1 and 2.27 broke the link.

I can only think about a binutils regression.
