Bug description:
  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  binutils and python3-stdlib-extensions are superseded which are part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.
