I didn't find one... That's because there is no such requirement. 2.18 is the latest version, so it's always wise to test with that in case you have some problems; but it wouldn't be nice if the kernel can be built with only one binutils major version. Please try my build patch for a similar problem, it went into BenH's tree today. Would be nice if it was the same problem; if not, send a proper, _detailed_ bug report here and I'll look into it.
