RFC Newer binutils

[Pegasus Mc cleaft]

Hello everyone, 

	I was wondering if anyone knows if there is planned an update to the binutils 
for the base system planned? 

	The reason why I'm asking is (occasionally) I use a later gcc then what comes 
with the system to take advantage of the newer opcodes in the Core 2. 
Unfortunately the base assembler dosent understand these new opcodes and 
things bomb out. I have installed the latest (2.18) version of buntuils and I 
can compile at that point. Things just get sorta ickey having two versions of 
binutils on the machine and thought it would be much simpler to have an 
update to the base. 

	I know there are still problems with the later gcc versions (like 4.3) and 
can understand why FBSD hasent moved to it yet, but didnt think there was any 
harm in updating to the later versions of as, etc..
