A binutils segfault / BFD internal error is always a bug, even on invalid
input. Those should all have binutils bugs filed (if present with current
binutils master) and those bugs referenced in the commit message.
If this patch reaches consensus for commit, the status information for
architectures that don't build, or that build but have not been verified
to have execution tests work in this configuration, will need to go on a
wiki page linked from https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/PortStatus (or on
that page itself), describing how to verify if the feature works (given
that it builds) and what's needed to fix things if there is a build
problem. Then that architecture information can be removed as and when
someone gets things working, and verifies that they are working, on
particular architectures.
