Hi,
IIRC, the reason that we need '=sys-devel/binutils-2.16*' for bootstrap
is that >=sys-devel/binutils-2.17 does not build if there is no texinfo
available somewhere in PATH.
Attached patch removes this requirement, although it seems to be
intentional by binutils-maintainers according to comments around the
patched Makefile-lines (seen in the patch).
Comments ?
