Sorry for the extremely late notice, but we just found that we'd missed 
the fix for this version checking issue.  I've posted a patch, as Nelson 
pointed out in that thread 
<https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2022-February/119684.html> 
we're hoping it's not too late for 2.38 -- no big deal if it is, though.

Thanks!
