Description Ross Burton 2026-07-01 13:31:07 UTC

As per https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/releases/yocto-6.1_M1.rc1/testreport.txt, on qemuarm but not qemux86 (so potentially a user/system qemu difference) the binutils tests fail:

testseries | result_id : qemuarm-tc | oeselftest_debian-12_qemuarm_20260610100141
    ptestresult.binutils-ld.selective1
    ptestresult.binutils-ld.selective2
    ptestresult.binutils-ld.selective3

This should be investigated so that we have 100% passing binutils tests.
