binutils 2.8.1, 2.9.1, 2.10, 2.10.1 (with and without patches) 2.11
gcc 2.95.2, 2.95.2.1, 2.95.3

The bug was that the specs file in 2.95.? seems to be missing a
-K__PIC__ in the spec for *cpp %{.S...}

It does seem to be in the current snapshot as of a few weeks ago and is
thus not necessary, but also not released.
