linker error: _edata: invalid version 21 (max 0)

When building the target paraview with a recent binutils (2.31.1-3, bug reported since binutils-2.30.90-1.fc29, from here), I obtain the following error:

../../lib/libvtkpqWidgets-pv5.6.so.1: _edata: invalid version 21 (max 0)

I was able to build it by downgrading binutils.

Edit: tested on version v.5.6.0, and current master: a615bdae
