Yes, that was PR 15355. It's fixed in binutils-2.24.

It was probably caused by having two segments in the PHDRS clause with
the same type and flags -- what I've seen before is two PT_NULL
segments for vvar_sect and hpet_sect:

 vvar_sect PT_NULL FLAGS(4); /* PF_R */
 hpet_sect PT_NULL FLAGS(4); /* PF_R */

Ideally, instead of using PT_NULL for these segments, you could
allocate two new GNU-specific segment types. I think that would have
benefits elsewhere, where you can look for these segments by type
instead of having to infer which segment is which.
