Notice carefully that I did not saying anything about GCC 6.3.0 in this thread.
Also notice that you are incorrectly assuming that I am using GCC 6.3.0. The
binutils in question does not work with either 5.4.0 nor 6.3.0.

I did this because binutils is the problem, not GCC:

It seems that both 2.28 and 2.29 both work, so instead of trying to
troubleshoot we should probably just build a newer version and release that as
test:
