I believe it already does. There are some known issues with debug_line
generation that gcc configure should detect and disable if a bad/old binutils
is detected.

But given your experience there might be other bugs, but I don't which they
are. If you know which binutils patch fixes it then we might be able to create
a configure test for it.
