Thanks for getting this into trusty-proposed. I built the application
again using the new binutils package and I can confirm that it now works
perfectly.

Bug description:
  This is probably the strangest bug I have ever observed, but it is
  completely reproducible. When running the attached Qt application, I
  receive the following error:

      QObject::connect: signal not found in Test

  This error is 100% reproducible on my Raspberry Pi 2 running Ubuntu
  14.04.2 (Trusty). This device has an ARMv7 CPU (Broadcom BCM2836). I
  cannot reproduce this error on any other hardware (x86 and amd64 have
  been tested). This does not appear to be a compiler bug since both g++
  and Clang produce an executable that prints the above error.

  Here's the thing that really confuses me: the error disappears (and
  everything works correctly) if I comment out the "dataChanged(...)"
  line in test.cpp. This is completely bizarre because the line is never
  executed by any code.

  I've tried digging through Qt's headers and buried myself neck-deep in
  macros, templates, and MOC-generated files. I can't make any sense out
  of this. Therefore I am reporting it as a bug. To compile the example,
  enter the source directory, run "qmake", and then run "make" to build
  the executable. Remember, the bug only manifests itself on an ARM CPU.
