Hi, I've prepared an NMU for u-boot (versioned as 2025.01-3.1) and uploaded it to DELAYED/10. Please feel free to tell me if I should delay it longer.
This fixes both the FTBFS caused by the newer binutils #1122489, see bug #1122406 for additional details, and drops the mips64el targets #1124308. Chris
