Out of the toolchain packages, I think binutils is probably going to 
carry the least risk of breakage, but as Ken says, unless you have a 
really pressing reason to upgrade, I'd just leave it alone until your 
next full build.  Even if there's a critical security vulnerability or 
show-stopping bug, it's probably safer to patch your current version, 
assuming it's not too far behind.

Matt.
