I was wondering about that.  I build a unified tree all the time with no
problem, but the binutils sources are synched with the gcc trunk sources,
not any of the branches.

If a trunk changes was deemed too risky for the branch at the time it was
applied, I doubt that it will be approved now just to make building unified
trees easier.  (When hashtab.h was changed, I tried several local hacks to
make it work with a unified tree, to no avail.  So I gave up building 3.2
unified with binutils.)
