This change was introduced in binutils 2.27. I also ported the patch to that 
intermediate version, to fix changes step by step.

Look at my commit which fixes that for the MiNT branch:
https://github.com/freemint/m68k-atari-mint-binutils-gdb/commit/d220fb1f40f719c5b1a632260aadbcaa573f9931

In the commit message, I put a link to the upstream commit which introduced 
that change. It might contain more information. Most of the time the 
binutils mailing list also contain further background.

NB: It is really great to have all upstream commits in our binutils fork, as 
we can precisely know what has changed and what must be reported to the MiNT 
branch.
