Upgrading to binutils-2.32 , elfutils-0.175 , and then rebuilding everything went smoothly for me. Everything seems to be working fine. ...but, there is no easy downgrade path. binutils-2.31 breaks a bunch of packages including gcc just FYI :)

Created attachment 565508 [details] gcc-8.2.0-r6_buildlog.gz This is what happens for me, and it is the same for the other packages that fail.
Yeah, due to sourceware.org/PR23919 debugging sections would not be compatible to older binutils. ./../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/8.2.0/libstdc++.a(pure.o): unable to initialize decompress status for section .debug_info /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/8.2.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/8.2.0/libstdc++.a: error adding symbols: file format not recognized collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [Makefile:2871: build/genmddeps] Error 1 I wonder if running # strip /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/8.2.0/libstdc++.a is enough to get you gcc against downgraded binutils.
I can test some downgrade scenarios if you want, but I am not too concerned about downgrading, because binutils-2.32 is working fine for me. I just wanted to give you a heads-up that downgrading binutils is a bad idea, kinda like downgrading glibc.

Pushed (unkeyworded so far) binutils-2.32 as: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=7b792b02dbe0eb57ec7945bf1a721a336fbfc114 To get into ~arch we'll need to: - go through FEATURES=test failures at least on amd64, check how bad they are, file bugs upstream - build @system and check if it still boots as kernel, glibc and boot-leaders are most vulnerable to break
