I just tested the new binaries with DMD/travis-CI and of course the build failed immediately: https://travis-ci.org/dlang/dmd/jobs/182649710 It looks like this is a binutils bug: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57017 So I rerun the test with the sysrooted toolchain (this toolchain includes binutils but doesn't link any system installed libraries without a -L/usr/lib flag) and this worked fine: https://travis-ci.org/dlang/dmd/jobs/182653194 So what shall we do about this now? Simply include binutils into the x86_64 native compiler toolchain? I'm not sure if this has any drawbacks compared to using the system linker... I could probably build a 4.9.3 instead of a 4.9.4 compiler as well... None of these solutions sound nice though.

At least the DMD build passes the ice8511 test: https://travis-ci.org/dlang/dmd/jobs/182653192
