Hi,

I presume you are using binutils >= 2.25? I have seen this problem in my
local build tests as well and I discussed this with Matthew (now on CC).
It seems it's an 'innocent' warning added to binutils 2.25 but I am not
sure if this is now fixed or not. Matthew might be able to provide more
information.
