Bug#906414: syslinux: FTBFS in buster/sid (mbr.bin: too big (452 > 440))

[Lukas Schwaighofer <lukas@schwaighofer.name>]

Hi,

the problem started with the upgrade from binutils 2.31.1-1 to
2.31.1-2. If I download the following 4 packages and install them, I
can build syslinux just fine:
https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20180726T092202Z/pool/main/b/binutils/binutils-x86-64-linux-gnu_2.31.1-1_amd64.deb
https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20180726T092202Z/pool/main/b/binutils/binutils-common_2.31.1-1_amd64.deb
https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20180726T092202Z/pool/main/b/binutils/binutils_2.31.1-1_amd64.deb
https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20180726T092202Z/pool/main/b/binutils/libbinutils_2.31.1-1_amd64.deb


Matthias: As the binutils maintainer, can you provide any help? I don't
really know how to proceed… and since this was broken by a Debian
revision, it's probably not an upstream problem? Thanks!

Regards
Lukas
