I wonder why the bug was cloned and reassigned to binutils instead of
being directly assigned to binutils? Maybe because it is visible when
using mklibs?
Wouldn't it make sense to merge the bugs?
On the ppc issue, I will wait for the new cdebconf-gtk udeb and
rootskel-gtk to hit sid and will build another image for ppc as soon
as they are available and with MKLIBS=mklibs-copy.
Frans, do you think it is reasonable to add the MKLIBS=mklibs-copy
line to the gtk-miniiso ppc configuration file and commit, as a
temporary workaround?
Davide, have you tested the ppc min.iso I made some time ago?

Don't want to kill your fun, but I think that porting to other arches
is wasted time, on one hand, and a possible means of finding various
bugs, on the other hand; I would work on debugging the reduction issue
we have on ppc.
