Right, but it should be a warning not an error. If it worked before, why
not work now and just warn about it. This "BUG" existed forever in the
kernel, and its in more than one place. Having the compiler crash on the
first instance means you need to fix it and run the compiler again to
find the next instance and so on.
binutils made a fatal error in making this a bug and not an warning.

Perhaps, but what about all older kernels. Now this version of binutils
does not work for bisecting.
