I build all my kernels with 2.95.1 or 2.95.0 with binutils 2.9.5.0.10-1. No problem so far. But this is done under LinuxPPC. I'm on the way to add these tools to my debian first installation. A bit tricky since I'm used to play with rpm's. Lot's of packages seems to miss on my installation. Maybe only a less useful hint, but gcc-2.95.x works for ppc quite well. Andreas
