-you use them anyway.  No one has tested compilation with non-GNU

-The quality of @code{binutils} releases has varied a bit recently.  The
-bugs are in obscure features, but glibc uses quite a few of those.  2.10.1
-and later releases are known to work.  Versions after 2.8.1.0.23 may or
-may not work.  Older versions definitely don't.

-For PPC you might need some patches even on top of the last
