Progress is slow, much slower than we all wish. What happened so far is that various scenarios could be tested with more or less success. One of the main binutils maintainers took on the case as well and last night I have seen a patch uploaded to the kernel bug tracker. So our next steps will be to validate the patch and convince our kernel team to add this to our package - then we might be fortunate to get Tumbleweed rolling soon again. So, all in all: no change in the situation in Tumbleweed directly, but clearly work in the right direction is done and possible solutions are being found.
