See https://lists.debian.org/debian-multimedia/2018/06/msg00087.html
Unfortunately I won't have a lot of free time to work on the transition
until DebConf. Hopefully I can do some more work on it then :)

Yes that would help. Do you know which version of ffmpeg fixed the issue?

Those bugs affect a small minority of packages which use the gold linker
(mostly Qt/KDE). I suggest you just override the pin. Having no working
binutils is probably counter productive.

in 4.0 or not.
