But it was good enough three weeks ago, when gcc was in (apparent)
deep freeze! Is there any reason for losing backward compatibility in
such an abrupt way? Binutils is a major package we are definitely not
going to upgrade it unless such an upgrade is critical - we are
talking about production systems... This basically rules out
*previous* (read, "stable") release of a major Linux distribution...
