@nickc Based on the change request I dont think mass rebuild is required for this change. Can you confirm?
Metadata Update from @mohanboddu: - Issue tagged with: f32
Actually no, a mass rebuild is needed. It does not have to be specifically for this update, but it must happen before the f32 branch is cut. The binutils package provides the assembler and linker used when building most other packages, and if there is a bug in either of these tools then there could be a serious problem.
