Binutils 2.7-4 and newer are ok for kernels; userland needs 2.8.1-1 or
newer or building certain shared libs will fail.
GCC 2.7.2-7 is ok. Btw, you only need to apply one of these patches;
none of my binutils or gcc patches was meant to be applied incrementally.

You can build both native and crosscompilers from the same source. That's
the beauty of GCC.
