With binutils-2.24.51-1 the build of xetex.exe (part of TeX Live) fails
with relocation errors like the following:
g++ -g -O2 -o xetex.exe xetexdir/xetex-xetexextra.o
synctexdir/xetex-synctex.o xetex-xetexini.o xetex-xetex0.o
xetex-xetex-pool.o libxetex.a

[and many more relocation errors]
Note that stdc++ is linked statically in the build of xetex.exe. I
don't know if this is relevant, but it might explain why the build of
xetex.exe is the only one that fails. The problem doesn't occur with
binutils-2.23.52-5.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Download the source:
rsync -av --exclude=.svn tug.org::tldevsrc/Build/source .
2. Build TeX Live:
cd source/
TL_CONFIGURE_ARGS="--disable-luajittex" TL_MAKE_FLAGS="-j5" ./Build
(Change -j5 to whatever you like.)
3. Wait for the failure.
4. Now revert binutils to the previous version and retry to build xetex.exe:
cd Work/texk/web2c
make xetex.exe
This succeeds.
