GNU @code{binutils} 2.10.1 or later
You must use GNU binutils (as and ld) if you want to build a shared
library. Even if you don't, we recommend you use them anyway. No one
has tested compilation with non-GNU binutils in a long time.
The quality of binutils releases has varied a bit recently. The bugs
are in obscure features, but glibc uses quite a few of those. 2.9.1,

after 2.8.1.0.23 may or may not work. Older versions definitely don't.
