flto crash with gcc7.2

I have a crash with getline in the following code file. I built gcc7.2 because system updates are not available.

Minimal example :

#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    std::string line;
    while (std::getline(std::cin, line))
    {
    }
    return 0;
}

On the following lines, GCC_INSTALL_DIR represents the directory where my own gcc is installed Output :

./a.out

We have to use _GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0 because we interact with an old library.

Removing flto, _GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0 or changing -std=c++17 for -std=c++14 resolves the crash.

Is it a bug with gcc-7.2 or did I miss something ? Should I file a bug-report to gcc ?

I would prefer to avoid the workaround of disabling flto or c++17

Edit : bug present in gcc7.2 : https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=82172

There is a bug on old version of binutils.

Building with binutils-2.28 resolved those problems.
