First, it's not obvious to me how to install such a newer binutils on
Ubuntu 16.04.  No official backports seem provided.

More importantly, we want to support our users on Ubuntu 16.04 (which is
a LTS version, still officially supported) without having them upgrade
the base toolchain (which could be a dangerous operation).  This is why
I would like some guidance as to how I could debug this issue.
