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.
