The latest binutils release is 2.9.1.  I was testing H.J.'s releases
in the hope that it would help get a new FSF release of binutils out
of the door.  Only after having installed it on a dozen of platforms
and finding problems on a couple of them I found out there were some
non-trivial divergences between H.J's and Sourceware trees.  Even
though I have spotted some problems that were particular to H.J.'s
releases, some are also present in the Sourceware tree.

I myself would rather have both work on as many platforms as possible
:-)
