Latest gcc and binutils from Fedora rawhide:

$ rpm -q gcc binutils
gcc-9.0.1-0.14.fc31.x86_64
binutils-2.32-11.fc31.x86_64

Test suite is failing in:

FAIL: run-strip-strmerge.sh

Comment 1 Mark Wielaard 2019-04-28 20:14:19 UTC 
The problem seems to be binutils which produces yet another unknown program header:

program header entry 9: unknown program header entry type 0x6474e553

This seems to be PT_GNU_PROPERTY (PT_LOOS + 0x474e553)

Something that seems to only be supported by binutils, but nothing else.
There was some discussion on this, but no consensus whether or not this is a good idea: https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2019-03/msg00127.html

If binutils now does produce this it might be a good idea to report it as bug to binutils to make sure it gets consensus and documented.

Closing.
Seems 1.77 test suite is now no longer failing.
