Is this a general recommendation to avoid H.J. Lu's binutils, or do
you just favor the newer binutils version?
What about binutils 2.13.90.0.4?

I'm currently using gcc-2.95.4 with the Debian patches, and
binutils binutils-2.12.90.0.14, which seem to work well.
I planned to switch to gcc-3.2 but postponed it because I
read about the DWARF debugging problems. Are they solved
with gcc-3.2 / binutils-2.13 / gdb-5.3-CVS ?
