Currently we have
i?86-*-linux*
You will need binutils-2.8.1.0.15 or newer for exception handling to work.
http://egcs.cygnus.com/install/specific.html . Do we absolutely require
2.9.1? Or only for exception handling?
I'll update the web pages accordingly...

Given the bugs fixed in binutils 2.9.1.0.15, especially the exception
handling bug in gas, binutils 2.9.1.0.15 or above should be used
for Linux.
