Yes. That's a bug which is fixed in the current version of openpkg-tool.
The dependency is only enabled by an option but which has a default
value of 'yes'. openpkg-tool failed to correctly evaluate the default
value and thus did not include the dependency.
You may safely install the current version of openpkg-tool for 1.2.

In fact you only need binutils under Solaris, as far as supported platforms
go. You do not strictly need binutils under Linux/FreeBSD because these
systems already come with binutils-compatible tools.
