Thanks for the update, Luis. Seeing the emails, I realized that
I hadn't understood that this was specific to 32-bit, which I am
understanding as using a 32-bit toolchain instead of a 64-bit one.

Based on that, my first step next weekend was going to first confirm
we do not have that issue when building with a 64-bit platform.
If not, then I would say that the problem is probably not as
serious as I initially thought, and thus we can go ahead and
release without a fix.

And my next was to look at the effect of --enable-64-bit-bfd to
see if that helps. Maybe you could try that?

That would be my recommended option anyway. I mean, maybe we'll find
a fix that's sufficiently obvious that we can safely backport it
right away and then release. But I have a feeling that it won't be
like that, in which case, I think a bit of maturing time on master
before deciding to backport might be beneficial, I think.
