Description:
Simple static linking is broken with 2.31 ld because it does not put program headers into a load section unless there is some other read only loaded section. Causes applications build with musl-gcc and musl-clang to segfault.

The bug tracker for binutils shows it was fixed on 2018-07-23 and the last comment says "Fixed for 2.32 and on 2.31 branch", Link:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23428

I don't know if a back-port is required or just an update on the 2.31 branch.

Additional info:
package: binutils 2.31.1-1

Steps to reproduce:

using musl-static

binutils 2.31.1-2 in [testing] includes the upstream fix for this issue.

I tried rebuilding my busybox package using testing-x86_64-build and it still results in a binary which segfaults.

binutils 2.31.1-3 should work (for real this time!).

Works for me at least. :)
