All platforms using DWARF-2 are affected.
I don't think there is a strict requirement on new binutils though
(as opposed to recent enough gdb), because in ld case this happens
just when the linker wants to translate some address into source
location to output some warning/error. In gdb case it means you
cannot debug the program.
