Can you say what version of binutils is required?
I think that ought to be documented in install.texi of gcc.
The one that was used above is version 2.11.90.0.27.

I don't know the exact date; any 2.12* should be fine.

What about older versions of glibc?  Do you have to upgrade
the binutils in order to compile glibc-2.2.4 with gcc-3.1, for example?

To compile anything with debugging information, in fact.

I brought this up on the gcc mailing list before:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-02/msg01071.html

I agree with you that adding this to the install documentation
would be useful.
