I brought this up (on IRC) today and got divided opinions...

Certainly putting a recommended version in the binutils directory
makes sense, and does no harm.  But should we require use of that
version, or should we just specify a minimum working version via
AC_PREREQ?

As Zack put it, the ideal solution is for the versions that happen to
come with any recent distribution to be acceptable.  There will be some
churn in the generated files, but otherwise everything should be OK,
barring undiscovered major bugs.
