Commit 1d14ef82f4a3be741bcdf6b1c6d51ce9dce43567 does not completely fix the build with python 3.8 as we still get link failure due to '-z undefs' being ignored by some versions of ld. Indeed, -z undefs was added by commit 97a232d7335f3bd0231fd9cd39455bde1d563922 in upstream binutils, and this commit was first present in binutils 2.30. So any toolchain using binutils version older than that won't have -z undefs and will build fail on: /home/buildroot/autobuild/instance-0/output-1/host/opt/ext-toolchain/bin/../lib/gcc/mips-linux-gnu/5.3.0/../../../../mips-linux-gnu/bin/ld: warning: -z undefs ignored. /home/naourr/work/instance-1/output-1/host/opt/ext-toolchain/bin/../lib/gcc/aarch64_be-linux-gnu/7.3.1/../../../../aarch64_be-linux-gnu/bin/ld: warning: -z undefs ignored.
