Sorry for not being clearer, Richard. The bug is in binutils
2.13.90.0.18-1.6, but was fixed in 2.13.90.0.18-1.7 some 2 months ago.

previously:

  binutils (2.13.90.0.18-1.7) unstable; urgency=high

   * NMU
   * Fixed ld segv (replaced yy_current_buffer by YY_CURRENT_BUFFER)
     (Closes: #188876, 188900, 188912)

The stable binutils (2.12.90.0.1-4) does not suffer this bug.
