Please be aware that apparently something went wrong with the release of
binutils-2.23 (see the discussion ending in:

http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2012-10/msg00339.html

though I doubt the glitches will affect your usage) and it has been
re-released as binutils-2.23.1. Maybe it is better to base the update if
the binutils port on that release.

Kind regards,
