I believe this might fix:

http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/be1/be199b97dcdaf28a8fef9d90953115a005baa173/build-end.log

If someone could verify this, maybe this patch could be committed to
master.

On Microblaze, a non-default binutils version is used, and the version
is fairly recent, most likely a 2.24-something version (we actually use
a git commit).

Best regards,

Thomas
