> Has binutils abandoned K&R syntax, or would it follow GCC in this? 

There is a general consensus among binutils developers that switching from
K&R to C89 is a good idea.  However, since binutils is required by some
targets for bootstrapping gcc, and gcc has the policy that bootstraps should
be possible with K&R compilers, a binutils switch would break gcc.  Therefore,
they are waiting for gcc to switch first.
