/usr/bin/ld: BFD (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.29.1 internal error, aborting at ../../bfd/elf32-hppa.c:4054 in elf32_hppa_relocate_section

/usr/bin/ld: Please report this bug.

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:588: recipe for target 'poly' failed

Full build log is here:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=polyml&arch=hppa&ver=5.7-2&stamp=1507223380&raw=0

The error was reported to binutils:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22300

See "bug 1: polyimport, the producer of polyexport.o is using the wrong os/abi for hppa-linux." in comment 4.

The binutils part of this bug should now be fixed by commit c0e331c794d6bd75d9be9bea6145513074c33f39.

Regards,
Dave Anglin
