If I want later versions of binutils (I am unsure of how necessary this is)
then it would appear that CVS would be the best option and to checkout
snapshots that are known to be reasonably reliable. Would you suggest this
as a wise thing or to just stick with the stock standard 2.9.1 ? Maybe the
cygwin sources of binutils might be the best option ? My main targets of
interest are powerpc-eabi, powerpc-linux and m68k-???
