[Bug 1696686] [NEW] ld: Relocation truncated to fit: R_ARM_THM_JUMP24 for relocation to PLT entry

[Diana Picus]

Public bug reported:

When linking large applications, we sometimes see this error. This is
affecting the LLVM ARM buildbots.

The issue was fixed upstream:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20608

Could you please backport it to Xenial?

I have applied the patch on top of binutils_2.26.1.orig.tar.gz + binutils_2.26.1-1ubuntu1~16.04.3.diff.gz as found here: 
https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial-updates/binutils-arm-linux-gnueabihf

It applies cleanly (except the ChangeLog) and passes make check.
