binutils fails to build glibc-2.24 on aarch64-linux-gnu and arm-linux-gnueabihf

[Matthias Klose]

Trying to build glibc-2.24 on aarch64-linux-gnu and arm-linux-gnueabihf, the build fails when trying to run localedef in the check target, the just built localedef segfaulting. This glibc build ok when building with binutils from the 2.28 branch.

glibc-2.24 needs upstream commit 388b4f1a02f3a801965028bbfcd48d905638b797 backported to 2.24 to build.
