I agree that we probably shouldn't and might want to go ahead and remove this condition in a follow-up even without waiting for GNU. Cleanup/refactoring changes (like this patch) are better to be NFC anyways too though.

I'll re-check what the latest binutils code do here and probably submit a bug for them.
