preprocessor macro to identify binutils version?

Hi All,

This is my first binutils foray. I'm making use of libbfd to provide 
detailed stack trace in an app if it crashes. In testing I've found 
systems[*] with older binutils where bfd_find_nearest_line segv's. I'd 
like to configure my app to disable the stack trace feature on systems 
with the older binutils. Is there a preprocessor macro that can be used 
to idnetify the binutils release? if not what's the best way to 
determine the binutils version?

Thanks
Burlen

[*] CentOS release 5.6, nm --version ---> GNU nm 2.17.50.0.6-14.el5 20061020
