Having binutils in DEPEND causes it to be cross-compiled (since GCC 10 where GCC itself no longer DEPENDs on it), and I don't see where lvm2 requires that. I don't see any other distros declare this dependency. If it was just to enforce a minimum version, all versions that do not apply have been gone from the tree for many years (before the initial Git commit). Please drop the dependency and save a lot of wasted build time.
Created attachment 684492 [details, diff] fix.patch
The binutils dependency was added in 2010 to ensure that ld supports the --no-export-dynamic option. https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo/historical.git/commit/?id=02c3cb9fb55b2c6f5c0ca3bf405d88084b919273 I think the dependency should be removed at this point.
