[2.27 Regression] gold internal error in fix_errata on aarch64-linux-gnu

[Matthias Klose]

seen with binutils from the 2.27 branch:

$ sh link.sh
ld.gold: internal error in fix_errata, at ../../gold/aarch64.cc:1960

This works with the BFD linker, or when dropping the --fix-cortex-a53-843419 option.

The test cases comes from the build of the gitit package on Ubuntu 16.10,
see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gitit/0.12.1.1+dfsg-2build7

The package built successfully with binutils 2.26.1
