Re: Bug#1125944: binutils-x86-64-linux-gnu: input SFrame sections with different format versions prevent .sframe generation

[Matthias Klose <doko@debian.org>]

I didn't realize that glibc was still built with --enable-sframe. sframe 
v2 and v3 are incompatible. Only future vX versions will see upgradability.

To move forward,

  - glibc needs to be built without --enable-sframe on i386,
    amd64, x32 and arm64, binaries uploaded to unstable,
    built in testing.

  - then glibc can be built again with --enable-sframe
    enabled, maybe adjusting glibc build-deps on binutils.
    sframe also should be enabled on s390x.
