I've tried a recent binutils snapshot and the result is not promising:

  rtest.gdb:     file format elf32-littlearm
  
  Sections:
  Idx Name          Size      VMA       LMA       File off  Algn
    0 .text         00001d40  00000000  00000000  00008000  2**4
                    CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE
    1 .data         00000390  00001d40  00001d40  00009d40  2**4
                    CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA
    2 .bss          00000230  000020d0  000020d0  0000a0d0  2**2
                    ALLOC
    3 .comment      00000070  00000000  00000000  0000a0d0  2**0
                    CONTENTS, READONLY

The RELOC is still missing (that's what should be there isn't it?)

Even worse, the kernel does not boot, instead it just keeps
scrolling data aborts across the screen.

So I guess recent binutils versions are even more broken
than what we are currently using.

Yeah, looks like you will need to fix the bug yourself :-/
