Note to the linux-ppc guys; is there any changelog entry which reports
this requirement somewhere? I didn't find one...

That's generally the problem we had with SuSE 10.3. Debian stable
should be updated by Christmas.. :D

Ouch. Well, all I can recommend is grabbing the source files from;

http://packages.debian.org/source/testing/binutils

And compiling and installing it manually. There is a bit of a
disparity between glibc support between testing and stable that
the prebuild packages will complain about (you have to install
half of Lenny to do it, which is a bad idea just to update one
package).

Once you have the files you can just use "dpkg -x binutils-blah.dsc"
to get going.
