+   The last public release of the binutils 2.8.x series was 2.8.1.0.23.
+Binutils 2.8.1.0.25 to 2.9.1.0.2 are beta releases, and are known to be
+very buggy.  Binutils 2.9.1 (note the absence of a suffix) from the FSF
+should work, and binutils 2.9.1.0.3 and later releases are also good.
+Either use binutils-2.8.1.0.23 or binutils-2.9.1.0.4 or later.  Glibc2
+users should especially try to use the 2.9.1.0.x releases, as they
+resolve known issues with glibc2 and binutils-2.8.x releases.
