Rebuilt with current binutils, now it did make emacs23-nox installable on my loongson2f-based machine. So this should be a loongson2f specific problem. I wonder whether a binNMU will be helpful, as I don't know whether the patch works on non-loongson2f based machine. Feel free to close this bug or handle it as appropriate.
