Hear, hear.  Everyone's life is easier if you can use the
latest release.  Even if you're stuck with 3.3, you can
try 3.3.3.

One caveat: the main binutils mailing list won't take bug reports
for the H.J.Lu binutils.  I started using binutils-2.15 in
crosstool beacuse it is quite up to date; they just did the
release a couple weeks ago, and it seems to be pretty good.
That said, if you run into problems, it's always worth trying H.J.Lu's binutils.

2.15 isn't that bad, from what I can tell.

Thanks for stepping up to help Chris, Kai.  I really can't
handle the tough questions anywhere near as well as you,
and I'm looking forward to hearing what the problem was.
