This is a random match - IMO, actually a fault, because you are using the wrong
binutils-sources for this target.

At run-time gettext applies "sprintf-format string" lookups.

At the very moment the format strings inside of an application will mismatch
with that of the installed locale/ files (e.g. because format strings have been
added/removed), you'll be facing address violations / memory leaks.

These typically show as sporatic/hardly reproducable run-time errors.
