  Thank you for your input.  Of course bumping up the ABI version is not
itself required for the change to work, and all existing working binaries
will continue to.

  Technically it does not preclude backporting either, although of course
it is limited by the previous ABI bump, which is (in the reverse order by
version/date):


Maybe I misunderstood what you were trying to do here.
Will the EI_ABIVERSION in created binaries increase if the programmer simply upgrades binutils? Or will this happen only when particular features are used? 

Thanks,
Florian
