I'm compiling binutils-2.27 with gcc 5.3.0.
Here are the configure options:
../binutils-2.27/configure --prefix=$FOO --build=x86_64-redhat-linux --disable-multilib --with-gmp=$FOO --with-mpfr=$FOO --with-mpc=$FOO --with-isl=$FOO --with-system-zlib --enable-lto --enable-ld --enable-gold --enable-plugins
When I run make check, I get
gcc -Bgcctestdir/ -fPIE -g -O2 -Bgcctestdir/ -Wl,-R,. -o pr20216a_test pr20216a_test-pr20216_main.o pr20216a_test-pr20216_def.o pr20216_gd.o pr20216_ld.o -ldl

This was caused by a bug in the test suite, where it was accidentally using the system assembler instead of the latest assembler in the build tree. The test was written to expect a relocation that is only produced by a more recent version of gas. It was fixed on Aug. 10 and backported to the 2.27 branch. See the discussion for PR 20216 for more info.
