From e4412739472b743e18860ad8d979a7ceb3071652 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2022 03:18:41 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: raise minimum supported version of binutils to 2.25 Binutils 2.23 was released in 2012. Almost 10 years old. We already require GCC 5.1, released in 2015. Bump the binutils version to 2.25, which was released some months before GCC 5.1. With this applied, some subsystems can start to clean up code.
