Yes. :-( The semantics of DEFINED has changed. IIRC, my patch
to announce that in ld/NEWS before 2.15 received no comments.
The usage above should still work, though.
Can you open a PR with binutils-self-contained (only assembly
files, no C or objects) test-case? Maybe all was at the URL
above, but I don't see the ld command line. Still, please open
a PR.
