Given the upcoming +Stretch freeze, this issue is urgent. + +As an interim measure, using its powers under section 6.1.4 of the +Debian Constitution, the Technical Committee overrules Matthias +Klose's decision to revert the NMU of binutils fixing #840227. The +committee requests Lisandro Damián Nicanor Pérez Meyer to make a new +NMU fixing #840227. + +The committee requests the release team to support the interim nature of this solution and if a permanent solution is adopted before the release of Stretch, to consider including that solution in Stretch even if the freeze criteria would not normally permit such consideration. + +In addition, the committee requests the stable release managers for Stretch to consider including the eventual upstream solution for this issue into a stretch update. + +This interim decision stands until the release of Stretch, until it is replaced by resolution, or until the binutils maintainer fixes #840227 in some other manner. + +---------------------------------------- + +Choice 1: Approve the Resolution (3:1 majority) + +Choice 2: Reject this Interim Measure + +Choice 3: Further Discussion
