Then, I think gcc 3.4 should refuse to build against a binutils version lesser 
than 2.15. So there is still a bug and configure should check for this. 
 
Also, I would gladly use binutils 2.15 but the binaries generated on my Solaris 
2.8 system for the cross tools are crashing on me. So I had to downgrade to 
2.14 to get something working. OK, this is my problem and not a gcc bug but 
still... 
 
Also, please, note also that removing the -many from the argument passed to gas 
makes the all thing work correctly even with 2.14. So what is the rational for 
adding this flag when it seems to cause trouble with all but one version of 
binutils.
