[Bug 1982105] Re: update binutils to the 2.38 branch in 20.04 LTS

[Matthias Klose]

** Description changed:

  SRU: update binutils to the 2.38 branch in 20.04 LTS.
  
  The new build will be validated by the main component on all
  architectures.
+ 
+ test rebuilds at
+ https://people.canonical.com/~ginggs/ftbfs-report/test-rebuild-20220728-jammy-jammy.html
+ https://people.canonical.com/~ginggs/ftbfs-report/test-rebuild-20220728-jammy-gcc-jammy.html
+ 
+ the first one is the reference test rebuild, the second one the rebuild
+ using updated binutils, GCC and python packages.
+ 
+ Analysis:
+ 
+ regressions on riscv64 (caused by enabling the tests) are:
+ 
+ abseil
+ adsys
+ colord
+ dovecot
+ glib-networking
+ glibc
+ gnome-bluetooth3
+ gnome-control-center
+ google-perftools
+ json-glib
+ libfprint
+ libgdata
+ memcached
+ mir
+ openvswitch
+ ovn
+ pmdk
+ power-profiles-daemon
+ strace
+ swtpm
+ vim
+ 
+ devscripts is not a regression, introduced by a custom dpkg-buildpackage
+ wrapper.
+ 
+ binutils and python3-stdlib-extensions are superseded which are part of
+ the planned updates.
