Is there any chance now that this fix can be temporarily merged into
the systemd package until the larger work on binutils/gold to implement
support for the STT_REGISTER has been finished?

We really don't have any chance to continue working on this port without
this hotfix as *all* packages which link against either libsystemd
or libudev will fail with linker issues such as:

configure: error: udev selected but libudev not found
checking for udev_new in -ludev... no
	"tail -v -n +0 config.log"
==> config.log <==
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by util-linux configure 2.27, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure --build=sparc64-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr
- --includedir=${prefix}/include --mandir=${prefix}/share/man
- --infodir=${prefix}/share/info --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
- --disable-silent-rules --libdir=${prefix}/lib/sparc64-linux-gnu
- --libexecdir=${prefix}/lib/sparc64-linux-gnu --disable-maintainer-mode
- --disable-dependency-tracking --enable-line
- --libdir=/lib/sparc64-linux-gnu
- --libexecdir=${prefix}/lib/sparc64-linux-gnu --enable-raw
- --with-selinux --enable-partx --with-systemd --with-udev
- --enable-tunelp --enable-static-programs=fdisk,sfdisk,blkid
- --localstatedir=/run --disable-silent-rules --without-python
- --enable-libmount-force-mountinfo --disable-login --disable-nologin
- --disable-su --disable-kill --disable-eject --disable-chfn-chsh

We really need your help on this.

Thank you,

Adrian
