According to this page: http://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/

The newest version is being called binutils-2.17.50 (name for snapshot).

ftp://sourceware.org/pub/binutils/snapshots/
05/17/2006 12:00AM     13,716,872 binutils-2.16.93.tar.bz2
06/12/2006 12:00AM     13,814,217 binutils-2.16.94.tar.bz2
05/22/2007 05:47AM     14,958,122 binutils-2.17.50.tar.bz2


The "best" solution for Debian _might_ be:

cvs -z 9 -d :pserver:anoncvs@sourceware.org:/cvs/src login
  {enter "anoncvs" as the password}
cvs -z 9 -d :pserver:anoncvs@sourceware.org:/cvs/src co binutils

and then go here: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/source/binutils and apply
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/b/binutils/binutils_2.17cvs20070426-5.diff.gz
- making sure not to _undo_ anything, just planning to get the Debian'isms and
GNU/Linix'ishness .


After I do this it can not be "my" fault, correct ?
Do you have better advice?

I maintain that this should not be neccesary. It is like this for a lot of
parts of GCC, requiring bleeding edge (Like GTK libs). I can do it and don't
mind but it reduces the number of people who can do everything and increases
tech-support / bug reports.
