that's why i was hesitant to update the news..
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2017-12/msg00555.html
it currently says gcc-8 and does not mention binutils,
even on x86 there is a minimum binutils requirement
for this to work, on aarch64 the requirement is just
higher: at least the fixes for ld/22263 and ld/22269
are required which are in 2.30 now.
i didnt write configure tests for the bugs thinking
this is an experimental feature, may be i should have..
