This problem actually sounds familiar like with the F15 or F17 build. Not sure if it was the same package or not.
It is a pain maintaining the list, but it makes is super easy for people to jump in and help when they have spare cycles.

It's not causing us issues as yet so I think I'll await a proper
binutils fix for f18.

What is the next "blocker" if this is considered resolved?
Is there any followup on our part for making sure our list of fixes are getting pushed upstream? Ie there are peeps willing to do
-easy- stuff, and just double-checking list to make sure the patches are getting applied upstream, and maybe even back to the original source actually sounds helpful. It is tedious, and time consuming but it isn't terribly hard if you have an accurate list and a patch in hand.
It is a pain maintaining the list, but it makes is super easy for people to jump in and help when they have spare cycles.
I'm not implying this is the problem in this particular case, but if say this was found before, and the fix never made it upstream back
through the process. It might only be a 5 minute human time fix, but it also
wasted maybe 15-20 minutes of builder time, and more importantly it might stop the entire build process which in turn backs up the release date.
It is actually important. And it should free up some time for a few people.
