Comment:

 We reverted this patch in tbb-8.0a5-build2, as it might be the cause for
 non-reproducible Windows build.

 I was previously able to reproduce a Windows build using binutils 2.30. I
 will check if I can reproduce the build with 2.29.1 on my machine, and if
 not we can look at switching to binutils 2.30 with a patch to fix the
 crash.
