There is a real regression with failing builds on some old binutils on
x86-64 know, but I don't know how to fix it.

Did you mean this?

Yes. Anyways it be likely a WONT-FIX -- aka document newer binutils
version required. We haven't had any other reports so likely
that version is not too widely used.

IOW: Either the Linux binutils >= 2.17.50.0.3 or the not yet released 
GNU binutils 2.18 are now required.

Debian 4.0 has older ones, and all distributions released more than a 
year ago for sure also have older ones (the required patch went into 
binutils CVS on 2006-05-30 and 2.17.50.0.3 was released on 2006-07-15).

Isn't that a bit too recent?
