I should also note that this patch is not really good as it only checks for .subsections_via_symbols 
which is only part of the problem which makes it fail early on but before Matt's patch you actually got a 
werid error while linking libstdc++ but there is no way to check for this which is why the requirement 
came in first place and since that the requirement for a newer cctools came in, we decided to just 
include the dead code striping stuff also.  I should note that x86-linux-gnu have a requirements of 
binutils 2.13.1 or later but they don't check for the version.  Even though older versions you could get 
mis-assembled code which is worse than not assemblying at all.
