Can't install on arch - unable to initialize decompress status for section

[kpa28-git]

Installing Ta-lib for arch with pip is failing when it attempts to build with gcc (I was able to install the C ta_lib library just fine). These are the errors I get:

gcc -pthread -shared -B /home/kev/miniconda3/compiler_compat -L/home/kev/miniconda3/lib -Wl,-rpath=/home/kev/miniconda3/lib -Wl,--no-as-needed -Wl,--sysroot=/ build/temp.linux-x86_64-3.6/talib/_ta_lib.o -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib64 -L/usr/local/lib64 -L/opt/lib -L/opt/local/lib -lta_lib -o build/lib.linux-x86_64-3.6/talib/_ta_lib.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so

I get the same issue when trying to install with setup.py.

Seems like there is a bug with binutils version 2.32 on arch. I was able to solve my problem with building the wheel by downgrading binutils to version 2.30:

sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/b/binutils/binutils-2.30-5-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

More information about this here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=242682

I don't like to solve install issues by downgrading packages, hopefully the binutils issue will get fixed so I can reupgrade to an up to date version.
