Hi.

 From binutils commitdiff 
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils.git;a=commitdiff;h=45c8411440ad1fac721a9236f2fdff47792dcf1b

elf.c was changed 2012-07-01.
-               (_("%B: unable to initialize commpress status for 
section %s"),
+               (_("%B: unable to initialize compress status for section 
%s"),

Thus the subsequent test in ptxd_make_xpkg_pkg.sh fails to detect this 
condition for newer binutils.

Patch provided for the newer version. Maybe an alternative would be to 
include both cases in the string search.
Don't know why, but I hit this error with a bog standard toolchain built 
by crosstools-ng on Fedora 22. For some reason this toolchain does not 
seem to handle compressed debug sections correctly.

Regards,
Christian
