[releng] Issue #7249: Changes/glibc 2.27, gcc 8.0, binutils 2.30

[Carlos O'Donell]

codonell reported a new issue against the project: `releng` that you are following:
``
All Fedora releases must be released using a released and supported version of the core
toolchain involving glibc, gcc, and binutils.

The Fedora toolchain team is responsible for ensuring that Fedora Rawhide stabilizes
static linking, code generation, and library ABI, before a Fedora release, or that after
the branch that the Fedora release is rebased (a very small rebase) to the final released
version. This is a requirement for Fedora to inherit the ABI and API guarantees provided
by upstream. If a mass rebuild is required by binutils, gcc, glibc or other components,
the Fedora toolcahin team will ensure coordination with release engineering such that a
mass rebuild uses the released version of all components and fix any last minute ABI or
code-generation changes.

As of 2018-01-08 the Fedora toolchain team is requesting a mass rebuild for the Fedora 28
release.

Reasons given:
* Enable Intel CET for current and all future revisions of Fedora (compile with CET turned
on).
* Test coverage of flags injection for Annobin, getting as much of the distribution built
with annotated binaries for security hardening checking.

I believe the subject is in error, we will use binutils 2.29.1 for the Fedora 28 mass
rebuild.

Note however that there are some [open issues with the build
flags](https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7220#comment-491834).

The subject is indeed in error, I wrote 2.30 when I should have written 2.29.1

@fweimer and @codonell with that all cleared up - are all of these pieces ready to go
now?

Just want to clarify so I know I am not misinterpreting the comments from [the other open
rebuild ticket for gcc](https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7220).

@kellin Everything is clear from my perspective, but please wait for the sign-off from
@jakub as well if possible (there are many pending gcc fixes to arrive soon from upstream,
but no Fedora build is current running).
