Comment (by awson):

 1. Binutils 2.28 includes only non-essential part of my patch, the part
 that is important wasn't put there, so you need the whole patch;
 2. Recent GHC string literals handling changes had required yet another
 tweak to binutils which I didn't bother to publish because of apparent
 lack of interest.

 Nonetheless, I attach the patch which, I believe, should do the thing for
 you. It is made against the current HEAD, but I think it works against
 2.28 too.
