Backport fix from binutils bug 19353

Problem: the binutils in poky (jethro branch) is not capable of linking webkitgtk4 on aarch64.

This is however fixed in upstream binutils:
   https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19353

Attaching a patch which applies the binutils bug fix to the binutils version in poky.

This fixes the build (link) of webkitgtk4 using poky binutils on aarch64.
