I am testing some more qemu defconfigs with binutils 2.29.
sh4/sparc worked fine. But xtensa fails to compile busybox:

/home/wbx/buildroot/output/host/lib/gcc/xtensa-buildroot-linux-uclibc/6.4.0/../../../../xtensa-buildroot-linux-uclibc/bin/ld:
BFD (GNU Binutils) 2.29 assertion fail elf32-xtensa.c:3965

Adding Max to Cc.

best regards
