gcc 3.2 requires binutils 2.12 or better; it doesn't
have a specific requirement on 2.13.  However the
sunfreeware bundle may bump bintuils to 2.13 (I haven't
checked what's going on there for a long time).
Sadly, the 2.13 release message indicates the purpose
is (only) to support a new platform and says nothing about
clever little modifications behind the scenes, like changing
default linker options so that relocation tables
are built differently (sigh).
