Binutils 2.23 was released in 2012. Almost 10 years old.
We already require GCC 5.1, released in 2015.
Bump the binutils version to 2.25, which was released one year before
GCC 5.1.
With this applied, some subsystems can start to clean up code.
Examples:
arch/arm/Kconfig.assembler
arch/mips/vdso/Kconfig
arch/powerpc/Makefile
arch/x86/Kconfig.assembler

Thanks for the patch! Indeed, it looks like 2.25 is from 2014.

I will pick this up to the kbuild tree
because it got Linus' ack.
