the binutils version we are using is very old. This year I got my hands on a
newer version (which also includes gcc) [1]. I think upgrading should solve
these build failures.

I'm looking into creating a precompiled binary for this docker image, so we
don't have to build binutils on CI minutes.

Cheers,
Bastian
