Thank you for looking into this. :)

I applied your diff on top of binutils 2.38 and was able to successfully build
libheif and nextcloud-client with it. Previously, these two Arch Linux packages
(and probably a lot more) would fail to link to several system libraries (x265,
de265, snappy).

PS: Not sure if this is of any importance, but I also noticed the following
linker error when building nextcloud-client with unpatched binutils 2.38
(likely has the same root cause and fix as the undefined references seen
earlier, and this error is gone as well after applying your patch):

  /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libQt5Gui.so.5.15.2: unexpected redefinition of
indirect versioned symbol `_ZTI11QSharedData@Qt_5'
