Will be made available with next version of binutils > 2.31

Is this fix released? Cosmic already has binutils 2.31.1-1ubuntu2. Please validate if it ships the requested feature already.

Seems to be that binutils will make a GA End of January. Therefore move back again to 19.04, just in case.......

[Frank Heimes (fheimes)]

With the availability of binutils > 2.31:
binutils | 2.32-1ubuntu4 | disco | s390x
this ticket is now solved and is updated to Fix Released.
