Including binutils code is just a bad idea. I know noone wants to hear that but
it's unfortunately true.
The FSF does copyright assignment which means it's easy for them to relicense.
Since we don't do copyright assignment, it's much, much harder for us to
relicense. We'd waste huge amounts of man hours trying to chase binutils license.
We need to stick with the v2 version of binutils and perhaps work toward an
alternative in the future. Relicensing is just not practical.
