Details - I use the gcc package to compile C code on my OpenWrt installation. Something has broken the toolchain, and it appears to be related to the binutils package that OpenWrt base provides. I receive errors such as these when I compile:

root at OpenWrt # gcc hello.c 
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-openwrt-linux-musl/7.4.0/libssp_nonshared.a(__stack_chk_fail_local.o): unable to initialize decompress status for section .debug_info
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-openwrt-linux-musl/7.4.0/libssp_nonshared.a(__stack_chk_fail_local.o): unable to initialize decompress status for section .debug_info

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-openwrt-linux-musl/7.4.0/libgcc.a(_muldi3.o): unable to initialize decompress status for section .debug_info
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-openwrt-linux-musl/7.4.0/libgcc.a(_muldi3.o): unable to initialize decompress status for section .debug_info

I was able to overcome this problem by updating binutils. I copied the version information and patches for binutils 2.32 from toolchain/binutils/ into package/devel/binutils/, and I built a newer version of the binutils package. Whereas the toolchain version of binutils provides the option to build a recent release, the package version is still 2.27.
