Comment (by boklm):

 Replying to [comment:17 gk]:
 > Hm. Is that caused by Selfrando? I can't otherwise imagine we are the
 only ones hitting that while compiling Firefox given that binutils 2.27+
 and GCC 6.4.0 is not an esoteric compiler/linker combo.

 Yes, it seems to be caused by Selfrando. I started a build after disabling
 Selfrando, and the build did not fail in this case.
