Yeah. The official version of binutils listed in Documentation/Changes.
Has a new version of binutils been mandated? If so, what is it?

Yeah. Again, the officially sanctioned version. Should we all be using
something else?

Long ago I came to the conclusion that if the kernel was evolving it
would evolve in an evolving environment, so I kept my binutils and
compiler reasonably updated, at least to the last official release. This
strategy has been quite successful for me. I have also noted that
Changes is usually ancient history, specifically with respect pcmcia,
but I am sure that Chris does his best. But maybe it would help if there
was some version information with new releases it would help. E.g,. cat
/proc/version and ld -v
