[Bug 213665] [PATCH] make bin/freebsd-version not depend on binutils

--- Comment #1 from Ed Maste <emaste at freebsd.org> ---
This seems like a reasonable change.

I wonder if strings ought to be installed unconditionally though. From the
SUBDIR.${MK_TOOLCHAIN} entries in usr.bin/Makefile these are obviously (to me)
toolchain components that may not be desired on a target system:

addr2line
ar
c89
c99
ctags
cxxfilt
elfcopy
file2c
gprof
indent
lex
mkstr
nm
rpcgen
unifdef
xlint
xstr
yacc

whereas I think these are arguably sensible to install on the target:

readelf
size
strings
