I am getting the same problem with a program that uses
matplotlib as a subsystem. If I build with the new
binutils installed, I get the same permission problem
as above. If I build with the older version, there is
no problem. I believe, but cannot verify at the moment
that everything runs fine under the new binutils, it
just does not work if the newer binutils is installed
when I compile matplotlib.
I will attempt over the weekend to get a simpler
testcase built.
