Closing a PR is hardly a complete fix to this problem - if some binutils versions don't work, we should test for the bug in configure and refuse to configure with broken binutils. If the requirement for recent binutils is platform-independent, we should also document it generally in doc/install.texi and remove the documentation under specific targets mentioning various old versions that are required. -- Joseph S.
