binutils upgradation

Hi Dheeru,

  a).  There is no such document.

  b).  The latest stable version is 2.13.2

  c).  In general later binutils releases are backwards compatible
       with earlier binutils releases, so that they can be used as
       drop-in replacements.  Hence you should be able to download the
       sources, configure, compile and install them, update your PATH
       to point to the new installation, and everything should work.

Cheers
        Nick
