We've learned that, on native i686-pc-linux-gnu, gdb has bugs
with binutils prior to binutils 2.13. I saw this happen in my
test bed, and David Carlton also saw it happening on his system.
Where do we record this knowledge so that gdb users can see it?
There doesn't appear to be a obvious section in NEWS or README
for information like this.

I think README is the place to tell this.
We could also have the configure script run "ld --version" and print
something if it doesn't like the result.

Doh! As soon as I woke up this morning, I realized that!
Patch coming up.
As far as Eli's suggestion to make the configury warn about this:
it's interesting, but I'm going to pass on it.
