.os file unrecognized while building glibc

While building glibc, I get this error.

*glibc/build/elf/dl-allobjs.os: file not recognized: File format not recognized
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status*

What is an .os file and what binutil do I need to install to fix this?

What is an .os file

It's just an object file, intended to be linked into a shared library. UNIX linkers for the most part don't care about file extension, you can call file foo.o, foo.oS, or just about anything else, it would still work.

what binutil do I need to install to fix this?

It's unlikely that your problem has anything to do with binutils. It is more likely that the file got corrupted somehow.

What does file glibc/build/elf/dl-allobjs.os report? Are you cross-compiling? Does the problem reproduce if you reconfigure and rebuild in a different directory?
