[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/3] package/libnss: remove ld segfault workaround

[Yann E. MORIN <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>]

Giulio, All,

On 2019-12-17 15:37 +0100, Giulio Benetti spake thusly:
> This ld bug has been fixed with binutils version 2.27 and Buildroot at
> the moment provides binutils > 2.27, so let's remove the workaround.

Even though Buildroot only has binutils > 2.27, there might still exist
pre-built, external toolchains that use a version older than 2.27.

Since we support gcc back to at least 4.3, I believe we must still
support binutils versions that were contemporary to that.

gcc-4.3 was releaswed in 2008, so the current binutils at the time was
2.18

However, for microblaze, in practice, I'm not sure what the oldest
binutils version makes sense... :-/

Unless another maintainer is happy to take those two patches, I'll
reject then next year (woot, you have a one year delay! ;-] ).

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
