 Surprisingly, this did not occur to me until the Developer's
 Summit report on other architectures, so it's probably not
 obvious to most people.
 
 For the record, then: binutils 2.12.0 is *required* by IA64,
 and so it's required going forward.
 
 Personally, I've been quiet since my initial Alpha breakage
 complaints, except to try to help track things down once
 in a while, since I had since realized this was an issue.
