I built binutils from the mainline with a patch similar to  
DarwinPorts' one.
Generated binaries passed 'make check'.
(Though test cases for Darwin target are too tiny to evaluate.)
And it seems that objcopy and objdump work nice to me.
Could you tell me some examples that binutils don't work.
I'll check them.
