So that is:

commit acd65fa610df09a0954b8fecdadf546215263c5d (HEAD -> master,
origin/master, origin/HEAD)
Author: Nick Clifton <nickc@redhat.com>
Date:   Tue Jun 21 11:22:38 2022 +0100

    Default to disabling the linker warnings about execstack and RWX
segments if the target is the HPPA architecture.
    
    PR 29263
    * configure.ac (ac_default_ld_warn_execstack): Default to 'no' for
    HPPA targets.
    (ac_default_ld_warn_rwx_segments): Likewise.
    * configure: Regenerate.
    * testsuite/ld-elf/elf.exp: Add the --warn-execstack command line
    option to the command line when running execstack tests for the
    HPPA target.

This failed on all builders:
https://builder.sourceware.org/buildbot/#/changes/2323

And I can reproduce it locally (with a clean build tree):

$ ~/src/binutils-gdb/configure --enable-gold --enable-shared
$ make -j8 all-gas all-ld all-binutils all-gold

make[1]: Entering directory '/opt/local/build/binutils-gdb-obj/ld'
Makefile:2629: .deps/emmo.Pc: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** No rule to make target '.deps/emmo.Pc'.  Stop.

But I have no idea why/how your patch caused it. Maybe because
configure was recreated and sets am__api_version to 1.16 from 1.15?
Wild guess, might be totally unrelated.

Cheers,

Mark
