>Description:
gcc's configure fails to detect binutils 2.13.2.1.  It cannot
decode version numbers with more than three fields

This causes:
checking assembler hidden support... no



>How-To-Repeat:
Just configure using binutils 2.13.2.1, instead of 2.13.2


>Fix:
Patch attached; or change gcc-3.x.x.gcc/configure to
recognize binutils version.
