If so, the obvious way to fix the problem would be to not use the --enable-shared option when building the binutils...I'm probably still missing something...No, you are not missing anything. But the patch is small and allows the passing of --enable-shared. It follows other architectures and I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be used.
I just would like to keep the patch as small/simple as possible...When people want to compile the binutils (or GCC), they know that shared libraries are not supported, so they don't put --enable-shared on the configure command line, and everything is good.
Did you face any real-wold problem without this patch ? I would like to know what other peoople think about that. -- Vincent Rivière
