Could this PR be the key:

  https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22762

If so then the upcoming 2.31 release will contain the fix that you need.
Or you could use the 2.30 branch sources.  But not the 2.30 release
tarball, as that was created just before the patch went into the branch.

Cheers
