there is no min version required to build binutils, although there are
min versions to build its documentation.

configure.ac:    # For an installed makeinfo, we require it to be from texinfo 4.7 or
gprofng/configure.ac:     MAKEINFO="@echo $MAKEINFO is too old, 6.5 or newer required; true"
libctf/configure.ac:    # We require texinfo to be 6.3 or later, for a working synindex
libiberty/configure.ac:     MAKEINFO="@echo $MAKEINFO is too old, 4.0 or newer required; true"
