    @rustbot modify labels: -O-windows +O-windows-gnu

    Fixed in Binutils 2.34: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17321
    There is reliable workaround for older versions: TheRyuu/FFmpeg@91b668a
    LLD was never affected.

    AFAIK this is fixed in Binutils shipped on recent nightly builds.

    Can we close this as fixed by upstream?
