This workaround was added as part of the switch to gitian building using Ubuntu 14.04 (#6900).
However, it should no longer be required, as we have switched to Bionic (#13171), and that
has a far newer version of binutils.binutils patch: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16192
Bitcoin ABC now uses Debian Buster, which has an even more recent version of binutils (2.31 vs 2.30).
This is a backport of core#16667
Depends on D10584
