I saw it first on the ubuntu binutils-arm-linux-gnueabihf-2.23.1-
0ubuntu6cross1.89 binaries but have now successfully bisected it to
the below commit that introduced the kernel build breakage in the
upstream binutils-2_23-branch.

The changelog comment is rather unhelpful for determining whether
it was intentional or not, and I can't make any sense out of the
source code.
