The builders are bascially stock ubuntu trusty 14.04 LTS, which has
gcc-4.8.2 and binutils-2.24.

Using the Ubuntu toolchain PPA[1], I'm able to put gcc-5 on those
builders, but newer binutils isn't available in that PPA for Trusty. 

We've been planning on upgrading the builders to Xenial 16.04 LTS, which
would bring the binutils update, but haven't gotten to that yet.
