Almost the same. We use the standard binutils-2.9.1 utilities, while
Linux uses their release-of-the-day. The most recent one is what they
call binutils 2.9.1.0.15. Generally they don't make feature changes
in their dot-dot releases, and generally their changes are folded into
subsequent official releases from the GNU project.

Fair enough. Could you please send me a simple but complete test
case, so that I can investigate it?
